I can't find that faith.
I haven't had faith in anything for a very long time. Likely from my lack of faith in God.
I think I really started losing faith when I looked deeply at the holocaust. Looked at the suffering people who kept Faith throughout and then Still had faith after. After losing their families and suffering for years. Most of them were "God's Chosen" people biblically. How??
Then science started knocking me around. It is accepted that we are not alone in the universe. So does each society have a God, a Jesus, and a Bible?
I always felt secure in Faith because 94% of humans believe in God. What are the odds that the 6% are the only ones right?
It is easy to wonder if man created God to accept life and death. That leaders needed a God of laws to ordain their laws. So many wars! So much death! Over religious beliefs!!
How convenient that Belief is entirely based on Faith. There is no Proof. Needing Proof is sin, lack of Faith, condemnation for ye of little faith.
Then I wait for a lightning strike for such thoughts but there won't be one because that would be Proof.
I had Huge Faith. 13 years in "The Truth". No, I wasn't an ideal member. I asked too many questions, I failed to totally live The Life. Then when all hell broke loose, when I found out our Elder molested my daughters and No One believed us. When we were excommunicated and run out of town I cursed God. Screamed at the Heavens that if He had a "plan" that it SUCKED and so did He I was still talking to, believing in Him. I just decided I didn't believe in the church. In any church.
I often thought about Phineas's law in A Separate Peace, "Pray every night in case there is a God". So I did.
