“Faith ― acceptance of which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove.”

“That is the definition of faith -- acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove.”

“Every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith―acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove. Every religion describes God through metaphor, allegory, and exaggeration, from the early Egyptians through modern Sunday school. Metaphors are a way to help our minds process the unprocessible. The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors.Should we wave a flag and tell the Buddhists that we have proof the Buddha did not come from a lotus blossom? Or that Jesus was not born of a literal virgin birth? Those who truly understand their faiths understand the stories are metaphorical.”

“Faith is accepting what makes no sense, what we cannot prove, but know down deep in our souls is real.”

“Faith,Waiting in the heart of a seed, Promises a miracle of life which cannot prove at once.”

“That is the true challenge--to work within a narrow confine. To accept what you cannot have; that from which you cannot deviate.”
