"Faith"

So, what exactly is faith? Is faith against reason? Does it take blind faith with no rational basis to believe in God? In this blog, I will be explaining how faith really works in a Christian's life.

Many skeptics, specifically Atheists, have misunderstood what faith really is. I think to a certain point, they don't bother trying to understand what faith really is. Instead, they call it a belief with no evidence or rational basis in order to make there worldview look correct.

I decided to do a simple search of the definition of faith. Faith can be defined as what I said above. But I don't see faith like that at all. Now, I'm not trying to play some sort of game with the meaning of words. As if one definition is more correct over the others. But I found one definition of faith that really went along side with how I view faith.

"belief and trust in and loyalty to God" and "belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion".

Tell me, how does one get this belief in God? How does he or she trust, and is willing to die for such a thing even? The main answer I could give is religious experience. Imagine you had a car that started up fine each day. It had no problems whatsoever. You still have to have faith that your car starts up though each day. You can't be 100% sure it will start up, because you simply do not know the future. But you are very sure that your car will start up. You are almost positive. Why is this? It's because of the past experiences you had with that car. I think all of this could be compared to holding a belief in God.

People get "faith" in God, because God is a reality to them. But at the same time, you can prove that He exists as if it is some sort of scientific experiment. But that of course doesn't mean He doesn't exist. People still trust there religious experiences. Some may be fallible. Mine might even be. However, unless someone can prove we suffer from delusions, people are perfectly rational in holding a belief in God. The personal experience in itself is an evidence for the supernatural.
