Faith like a child or another easy answer?
2007 August 13
Ignorance doesn’t discriminate among religious sects, worldviews, races or cultures. Across the board, people hold to beliefs out of hatred, fear, self-righteousness or laziness. Or they form their beliefs after searching, seeking and testing the possibilities.
For those of us who hold faith as a trait to be sought and treasured, where is the line between believing that which is unseen and seeing for ourselves?
I don’t have answers, and, tonight, I don’t feel like finding them. Apparently this is my happy medium between holding beliefs and searching for them myself.

At St. Thomas, I learned that the line between seeing and believing without seeing is hope. More specifically the hope to one day see.
At St. Thomas we were always encouraged to seek with all our hearts minds and souls and yet understand that we could not understand all. The understanding that we couldn’t understand all is always saturated with the desire and the striving towards that end.
Thus my fuzzy line is “hope”
