How can you take seriously someone who likes to believe something because he finds it 'comforting'?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am a Christian guy. And I am kind of quiet about it because I want people to take me seriously before I throw something that serious in their face.
In the process of telling the truth about what you feel or what you see, each of us has to get in touch with himself or herself in a really deep, serious way.
Every man who attacks my belief, diminishes in some degree my confidence in it, and therefore makes me uneasy; and I am angry with him who makes me uneasy.
When someone you have a lot of respect for believes in you, it helps you believe in yourself.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.
We have to choose faith even if we don't feel it. Or hold on to a friend who has faith.
That willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith.
When I approach guys in certain situations and talk to them about Christ, they know that I'm speaking to them in a way that's real.
Do not flinch from experiences that might destroy your beliefs. The thought you cannot think controls you more than thoughts you speak aloud. Submit yourself to ordeals and test yourself in fire. Relinquish the emotion which rests upon a mistaken belief, and seek to feel fully that emotion which fits the facts.
