To make my response brief.... There are many charlatans in the religious community out there... some would call them con-artists. They profit from being a prophet one way or another... mostly by becoming a middleman of sorts for spirituality. They encourage faith and sell faith through their words. Discernment on the other hand doesn't work that way, and that's what I am talking about. Simple test... define faith without expressing some kind of belief. Truth doesn't care what you believe or if you even recognize it. Truth has no agenda. Trouble comes when you start equating truth with belief. Belief has always been stronger than truth. Faith in a belief is your best guess at truth... with the only evidence being the belief you formed. Truth can lead to belief which can lead to a kind of faith which makes people feel better. It can also (historically) lead to a lot of death and killing. Be careful who you follow... Also. I really don't care what people believe or have faith in provided they don't mess with me... live and let live. No disrespect intended patriot.
