That's the difference between us Jazzy - you have faith in men, politicians, their institutions and your own imagination - I put no faith in those things. Rather I have faith in Him who exists outside of this creation and His Principles and Laws.
Yes, but your faith is just as blind and irrational. I, too, believe in Christ - but for very different reasons than you do. I refuse to cling to stray passages in the Bible to justify hate and prejudice. Christ is WORTHY of being followed because of the moral philosophy He espouses, and the RELEVANCE of that philosophy to living a more peaceful, charitable, community-centered life. For example, Christ PERSUADES me to defend and respect the very same folks that you believe God commands you to condemn as perverts and abominations.
I don't love Christ because of faith, or the selfish hope of salvation. I love Him on the merits, and whether or not I am destined to be worm food is irrelevant.
