Faith is the act believing in something without evidence. Religions are supported by faith when evidence does not. Everyday people come across details in their lifestyle that questions their faith in Religion. Many choose to abandon faith, which is an example of their morals. Without faith, a religion would cease to exist. Faith in other words is trust, and we are vulnerable to other people everyday, but we have faith in one another and that is why we live together as a community. Faith is not a bad thing, it is a beautiful one. The very thought of believing in something without concrete evidence is truly remarkable, and it requires a substantial deal of powerful abstract thought to even conceive the thought of having faith in something. Faith in anything, with it being not yet proven, is a brave thing to do because it makes the believers vulnerable to skepticism and belittlement from non-believers. Faith is believing in something with the good of one's heart, without reassurance of it actually being there. This brings up a deep question, if one has faith in something, does it make it true? To that individual, yes, yes it does make it true. Then what else matters to that individual than that individuals personal faith?
