You can’t debate faith nor can you debunk it. Faith is a personal choice inside one’s heart. It’s a choice the famous and much controversial theologian Karl Bart called a “leap of faith.”
If you’re going to be a sojourner of faith, you’ll need to prepare for some leaps, because my guess is somewhere along the way you’ll be making some horrendous leaps that come with a rush one never would experience from a bungee cord on “Fear Factor.”
But be forewarned: It’s a leap you’ll need to make by yourself. When it comes to faith, it doesn’t matter who your daddy is. You’ll have to unearth it and claim it for your own. Norris Burkes
I’ve said before that I enjoy Norris’ columns. This is from his latest. You can find a link to him on the front page of my blog. He always has something pithy dropped into the everyday stuff that exists for all of us.
I knew someone who used to say that everyone has faith and everyone has doubt — it’s important not to mix them up, to doubt the things we should have faith in, and have faith in the things we should be questioning.
It’s something to think about in considering the various things we believe whether about faith or other things that will be debunked as time moves on.
