Belief, like love, must be voluntary.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Need is not quite belief.
Just as no one can be forced into belief, so no one can be forced into unbelief.
A belief in God helps provide a foundation to arbitrate our decisions. Without this foundation, we are condemned to live essentially formless lives.
Religion is faith. Faith is belief without evidence. Belief without evidence cannot be shared. Faith is a feeling. Love is also a feeling, but love makes no universal claims. Love is pure.
Belief is a moral act for which the believer is to be held responsible.
Belief is thought at rest.
It is psychologically very hard to go through life without the justification, and the hope, provided by religion.
Belief is such a powerful thing - but because it is, it can also be very destructive and it's very easily manipulated.
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
Belief fails when it works not well indeed but is idle as a sleeping man... Each virtuous deed is strong when it is grounded upon the solidity of belief.
