Diversity in Faith - Believing in Seen and Unseen things

[oxis]

Faith is believing seen or unseen things. There is no specific parameters, qualification or criteria for one to say he believes or perceives something to be true or false, existing or not. It is just a basis for one to be guided on how he should react or respond to certain situation. Not a single thing, not even any religion can actually dictate or tell anyone to do anything as he perceives things to be. There could be a scroll of guidelines based on doctrines, but again they are only guidelines. In the end, it would still be the way each individual believes things to be, that would matter.

absolutely correct, faith is a mental state of belief and trust which arises with the development of our own mental faculties. faith is no doubts influenced by a large number of determinants who influence and mold it. from the time we are born and till the time we die, we store every thing that happens in front of our eyes, everything we hear of, all this is scrutinized by our mind and experiences and environmental influences and pass through various mental barriers to take the shape of faith. it is easy to shape one's opinion but it is quite diffiult to shake one's faith as it has a long base beneath it.

Faith is a by nature diverse. It is basically the feeling being under influence of the power that governs us, our thoughts. For me god is a force which controls the world and whom we fear before doing something unacceptable. It may be different for someone even very close to me andthat's where diversity stems from.

that's really true, faith is not something which can be taught or preached, it's our mind which perceives things and process them and come out with a conclusion with what is right and what is wrong, how to behave in certain situations. nothing but the person himself can mould the way he thinks and what he believes and what is his arena of faith.
