Faith: what does it mean to you?

[Jamestl]

What did it mean before 9-11 and what does it mean now?

 

[Warblad13]

it ... nevermind

 

[webnewland]

Event of sep 11 havn't changed my definition of faith. Believing in something that I don't have proof for.

 

[bigrash]

I still believe in faith. My opinions haven't changed at all. link

 

[HombrePequeno]

It means the same as it always did, unquestioning belief.

 

[Jamestl]

Does anyone care to elaborate?

 

[HombrePequeno]

Elaborate on what?

 

[DanFungus]

......mmmmm.....pie.........
(thats my elaboration)

 

[apoppin]

Well, to define faith, I have to quote the Bible: "Faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen." Or, "Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." (Hebrews 11:1)

And why would anything change after September 11 or after any other disaster?

 

[Jamestl]

thanks guys. I think the point is proven.

 

[chuckieland]

i don't believe it before 9-11
i don't believe after 9-11
I believe myself and in control of my own faith

Faith still looks the same to me - did she change?

Ditto.

It will take more than a few a$$holes in a couple of planes to cause me to question my faith.

God had nothing to do with this. Defective human a$$holes, however, are to blame for the whole thing.

Why would this change your faith in God?

 

[Aves]

Mmmmmm....


Seriously though, I've never really had faith in my life.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Regardless of whether or not you had faith, 9-11-2001's events should not effect it at all.

I have found that personally I have reflected and prayed more after the attack than b4 it.

 

[Aihyah]

omg, i want that faith
