I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.
Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.
Faith is the first step to understanding. Either it's the Word of an infallible God, the fallible words of men, or faith in what you personally believe. You've got to have faith in something. Believe me.
Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.
In the jungle, faith also became something very real; it helped me to understand what was happening to me and changed my questions.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument.
What is faith? If you believe something because you have evidence for it, or rational argument, that is not faith. So faith seems to be believing something despite the absence of evidence or rational argument for it.
Faith is an act of a finite being who is grasped by, and turned to, the infinite.
Faith: not wanting to know what is true.
