plaetton:I quite liked your post and was about to air my views, then I realised that you restricted it to Christians. Since I guessed you meant Bible believing/religious Christians, I abstain from commenting. Why restrict it only to [religious] christians? Do other religious people not also go frequently to their meetings? Anyway, The post makes a good point. And we should all ponder on it. Cheers. |

LoJ: I stand corrected. For all religions and faith operate in the same way. Same part of the brain is responsible. So Christianity represents the entire gamut of religious behaviour. 1 Like |

plaetton: Conspiracy ? Let me tell you something you can add to your fun theories Hackers have found their way into classified military docs in past times in their bid to discover if the govt were hiding ET encounters from the public . Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to research the truth about these findings This post may self destruct *Mission Impossible's music plays in the background* |

plaetton:Ok. My Opinion goes as follows: Your post is quite true as far as religious faith or shall we say Blind faith is concerned. Yes Blind faith (which could be defined as believing what the Pastor/priest told you, or what was written in the religious book) needs to be recharged and the obedience/submission of the people has to be recycled afresh through classical/operating conditioning techniques. However Genuine faith has nothing to do with religions and religious meetings. It is a living experience of the divine which produces absolute certainty. God created the world without a church or a Mosque or Temple. He therefore does not need them to save the world. True faith is personal and does not require to belong to any religious movement. True faith does not castigate doubts, questions, analysis and criticism. It welcomes them and see therewith an opportunity to be more living, more knowledgeable, more true. I do not belong to any religion, nor have I been to any church for a long time. It has not broken my beliefs, it rather reinforces them. Cheers. 2 Likes |

LoJ: Beautiful piece. I couldn't have said it better. Even When I still believed in the existence of god, I considered religion , organized religion a great insult to god. 1 Like 1 Share |

plaetton: why and how? |
Re: Christians, Why Does Faith Need Regular Recharging? by Nobody: 2:02pm On Jan 17, 2016 |
hahn:Except that I have already been an Atheist. On a serious note, People should be allowed to believe whatever they are genuinely convinced about in their heart. With experience and time, they will see if their belief hold or not. Then they will change their beliefs, or stop being sincere about them. True Faith usually starts with a rejection of generally accepted beliefs. Thus some people we brand as atheist/agnostic, when sincere are actually already on the path that will ultimately lead them to the recognition of God, in this life or the next. Cheers. 1 Like |

KingEbukasBlog:Faith and superstition are the same. Faith is just a fancy name for superstition. For example, Christians have faith that a white man, dead for 2000yrs, protects them. African pagans like me have a superstition that that our long dead ancestors protect us. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

KingEbukasBlog:Yes sir. Just like the atheist and Satanist needs to blaspheme God constantly to keep them from interference. You know?

plaetton:one truth from the op, atheism and satanic are one, you are using the both to attack the believers. Atheists cannot have problem with faith just as you don't have problem with satan. 1 Like 1 Share |

plaetton:The christian Faith is different from the rest religion. Because everybody believe in God mean they all have the same faith. Why did the bible say Faith ALONE cannot save you ? Because the bible want you to be sure of what you believe and active truth in it. |
