Evidence is always lacking! If you disagree prove that the external world exists or that the future will be like the past without begging the question. But I wouldn't call what's holding up your beliefs faith either. This is a false dilemma. 


Best, Joe

Remember faith is necessary when evidence is lacking.  The less evidence, the stronger faith needed or exhibited by believers, religious, political, social, or otherwise.

Chas,
 
Most all Christians believe false Gods exist. But there is only one True God. 
 
I have little faith in God because I am a weak person. But I do believe that He exists. I have to pray for faith that He will do right by me. I resist Him all the time because I want to be free to do what I want for me, not what is right for Him. 
 
Believing He exists is indisputable because of what I have witnessed and witnessed with others. So that is the easier part for me. I don't think I am special, I think God reveals himself to everyone at some point if He needs to. 
 
But faith, that is difficult to acquire, even people that boast they have much more than most, have little. 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan
 


The harder you believe in some being the more real he becomes. This is true of all objects of faith, including Santa Claus.
