For me, and I suspect for lots of other people too, bad things actually sometimes make you think more about faith and the fact that you're not facing these things on your own.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are faith-based movies that some people don't consider good, but every time it comes to the scene where someone's life is changed, that still affects me.
What's positive is moving from a place of growing in faith to really feeling more grounded in faith, to understand that faith is hard, that I'll stumble, that I'll make mistakes, that I'll sin. But, that's part of being on a faith path; it's part of being a human being.
I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged - 'There's nothing good in my future' - I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there's an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.
I have deep respect for people's individual faith, but when faith gets connected to the machinery of state, or the machinery of hate, I find it very confronting.
My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium.
Although I am a Christian, with what religion has become - a tool for so much of the bad stuff - I just say to people that I'm a person of faith.
I think that for some people faith is good - they have something to draw to.
Faith is not a commodity that you either have or don't have enough of, or the right kind of. It's an ongoing process. The opposite of faith is despair.
My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.
I think when you're dealing with faith, you want to be as responsible and sensitive to the material as you can.
