Notes on Faith

"Philosophy in disguise..."

By their nature

The faithful attempt

Proof of the unproven

The unbeliever

Proof of the negative

To deny with logic 

What exists outside logic

Is

Color without vision

Sound without hearing

Love without emotion

Age without time

Faith by definition

Inspires belief without proof

A folly to those 

Who must be burned by the Sun

Before they stand in the shade

A very true point, faith is not but a word, an emotion, or even a belief, it is in your very soul, those you who seek irrefutable proof are forever blind, until they first look with their soul. A favorite quote of mine, actually its a paraphrase from the novel 'The Stand' by Stephen King.

Ralph Brentner reads Nick Androse's note to Mother Abigail. “Nick say he don''t believe in God.”

Mother Abigail, “Bless you child, it don't matter, he believes in you.”

A great quote from a great book.

All I can say to this is "amen". ;) A good piece of philosophical pondering, J.
