This entry reminds me of athletes and actors always thanking God for their accomplishments. It’s nauseating.

What is faith? Is it trust? Belief? Not just a belief in existence, but belief that someone/something will be there for you? Faith and God have gone together over the years enough to the point that they are almost synonymous. God and religion rely solely on faith for its existence and growth because there is very little (if any) fact supporting it.

Faith can be much stronger when it is based in reality. Evidence of results and reliability make it much easier for faith to continue, and that evidence can be found much more readily here on Earth through man’s actions than in the clouds through God’s.

Putting our faith in our fellow man to be good and moral gives our worldly neighbors the power to make real differences in each other’s lives. And it also gives him credit where credit is due. We don’t need to let everything happen according to God’s will, giving Him credit for all the good things, but blaming only man for the bad. We can acknowledge and promote that good things happen because of the person doing them–not in the name of God or to get into Heaven, but because it’s simply the right thing to do.

If we can put our faith in man, if we can trust each other to do the right thing, sure we may be disappointed at times, but in the long run we’ll lift each other up and rise higher than the heavens.
