The Introduction
Calling this section 'Outside of Faith' isn’t entirely accurate, because everyone places their faith in something—whether in themselves, others, the world, or God. Even believing in nothing is, in itself, an act of faith.
Christians choose to place their faith in God. Meanwhile, many outside the Christian faith see God as a concept—a crutch to help believers cope with the world’s evil, pain, suffering, fear of death, and the seeming futility of life. Ironically, isn’t this also why some reject Him? Accepting a deity in a world filled with suffering isn’t easy. For some, denying God feels like a way to justify living on their own terms, making life seem more manageable.
If we take an honest look, we see the futility in this world—a reminder of humanity’s ongoing struggle to coexist peacefully, free from chaos and conflict. It may seem convenient to blame religion for the world’s problems, but can we truly place the faults of humanity on a God some insist isn’t real? Perhaps the problem lies within us—our reluctance to look beyond this world and consider God with humility and openness. Why are we so resistant to seeking Him? Why does the very act of searching feel so threatening?
In this section, I want to explore the misconceptions and reasons that lead many to dismiss faith as irrational. My hope is to foster open, respectful dialogue—free from fear, judgment, or the forceful imposition of beliefs.
