i wonder if many people know what it's like to have truly lost all sense of faith?
i think i lost it when i was 15 and my dad left home. i'm not sure it's an entirely bad thing. & i was never taught about God much; what i know i taught myself or learnt not to believe in from my grandmother. she prayed to her god everyday with her stipulations and preconcieved notions and she still got thrown out of 3rd story windows and spit on at the dinner table daily.
faith or no faith, in people or a higher power, it's about existence. and i wonder if the faithful have a better one?
unrelated. i don't have allegiances or loyalties to anyone i've never met in my real, tangible life. no offense, but you're not real to me until i've had the ability to touch you. sure there's exceptions. john michael is one of those, but most people i speak with on aim or email or whatever, i just like you. but it's not much more than that.

faith - Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. (taken from dictionary.com)
So are you looking to have faith? I see no reason to believe that some one that believes something with NO proof would lead a better life than some one that believes things because of reason and/or logic. Don't get me wrong. I don't discount spirituality but I also don't just believe shit because of faith and not move further in my understanding because of it. In personally believe certain things and make it an active part of my life to research and ponder the possibilities. Faith has nothing to do with it.
