Love has physiological sympt..... Wait... Are you coming on to me? :D
Having Faith doesn't mean you can't ask questions. For me it takes a lot of critical thinking to read bible and understand it. When I read parts of bible, I have to be able to put myself in that story line to understand what Jesus is trying to say. Sometimes I have to peel alot of my pride and selfishness to admit I've made mistakes in my life and how much that was sin and then also admit I was wrong.
Once you ask god to come in your life even with unanswerable questions lingering and doubts, amazing things will happen to you. Bible becomes reflection of what you are doing wrong and right. Human characters didn't change much at all from the time of Jesus. We are still tempted to be selfish and want to get out as much as possible in life with very little effort. Yeah, it's very easy not to believe in god but once you open your mine, it all make sense.
No materials in life fulfills you like Jesus.
p.s. I'm a new Christian and I'm loving it.
Damn...busted.... :DQuote:

Nope, I know love exists. Most of us have experienced love to some degree, myself included. But the word love is just used to describe a whole range of emotions, from sexual attraction and companionship, to friendship and family ties. Certain types of love have certain phsyiological symptons also, such as dilation of your pupils, etc...
Faith, however, is just a belief. If one person claims that something does exist and the another claims that it doesn't, the person making the claim cannot use faith as an argument or to throw extra weight behind his or her argument. Faith, to put it simply, is an emotion. Nothing more. There is nothing supernatural about faith; it is literally one person's opinion, one person's belief. Somebody with faith in a certain thing can not have an objective opinion, because faith is the belief in the illogical, the unproven.
Faith can not be argued against, it can not be countered. But that does not mean it is irrefutable. Quite the opposite. A person's faith can be used to discredit their own argument because their faith proves their lack of understanding, of willingness to base their opinion on fact and logic.
That's what I meant.
Okay, plain and simple. Everybody has faith. In something. Faith that they will take their next breath.
I guess I could believe in God, in as much as this all came from somewhere, but I see no reason to believe the people who wrote the bible understand anymore than I do.
I don't see any evidence for anything whose existence cannot be proved by observation. I only believe in matter, spacetime, and energy (real energy that is, not the "spiritual energy" which is a really nebulous and immaterial idea that believers refuse to define for me). If something does exist that isn't detectable through some sort of experimental procedure, it must have no effect on my life and there's no point in speculating about it.

I told this bible-thumping chick that they need to come out with a sequel to the Bible and she was enraged.
