If you've ever questioned your faith, you're going to question it when you are burying your own children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have always been the kid who's asked 'Why?' In my faith, you're just supposed to have faith. But I was always like 'why?'
Asking in faith requires honesty, effort, commitment, and persistence.
For many people who were never religious or who leave the religion of their childhood behind, it's the experience of having children of your own that brings an urgency to the question of what you believe.
Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.
It would make life much easier if I could have total faith and not question everything all the time, but I can't do it and I won't do it.
You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.
I haven't chosen to make an issue of faith.
Priests, ministers and rabbis are asking where the children are going. Slowly but surely, they're seeing that people are hungry for something beyond the doctrine. It isn't that they don't want religious truth. But they want the mystical core, the heart of the religious truth.
I think when you're dealing with faith, you want to be as responsible and sensitive to the material as you can.
I don't question things that go against what I believe very much. But boy, the stuff that I really want to believe, I really question a lot.
