faith
- Depending on something we can't prove. Our faith is our own, it
is intrinsic, innate, indescribable and immeasurably important to
our sense of who we are. I make a distinction between faith and
belief, what we believe can often be enunciated whereas faith seems
to me to be about why we believe. Religious faith sustains, forms
and informs us in a fundamental way. It defines the relationship
we have with our creator (even for atheists) and in a mysterious
way binds us to the others in our faith community. Being so important
it is also often very funny.
