Hebrews 11 and Faith

This chapter of Hebrews is the bottom line when it comes to faith, but a self professed agnostic with funky blue eyeglasses from the great state of New Jersey has a great take on it as well. (Yes, I'm from Jersey originally). Here's a clip from her post (used with permission):

"The whole premise of the concept of faith is that you believe in something that cannot be proven, that’s why its faith. You are making a choice to put your belief into something, even if you can’t stick your finger in the wounds. So, to tell someone that their faith is wrong because well, duh, it can’t be proven is such a waste of time. What is it about “enlightened atheists” that makes them so much like fanatic religious people. I mean, when you really look at it, what’s the main difference? An extreme atheist is what I consider someone who not only makes the bold claim that they do not believe there is a God, but also want other people to agree with them, and will go to lengths to “prove” their claim to you. An extreme religious person is making a bold claim that there IS a God, but also want other people to agree with them and will go to great lengths to “prove” their claim to you."

The "Far" side of any debate can get quite hysterical. As a Christ follower, I believe it is our job to live our faith 24/7, not just Sundays and discuss it with people that are ready to listen. The choices we make and our actions will speak louder than any proselytizing we can throw at someone with deaf ears. Our job is to plant the seed and let the Holy Spirit take over from there. (Although, I'll say it's sad for someone to believe that this screwed up planet is all we have to look forward to!)
