What do you have faith in? 1

I have faith in :
1. Myself. 2. Other people. 3. My country. 4. My culture. 5. The laws of physics. 6. The laws of faith. 7. The laws of fate (determinism and cause and effect) 8. Open or even combinatorial frequencies. 9. Freewill!
10. That the truth can never be permanently forgotten. 11. That good and evil is true - That justice is real! 12. Becoming a character in a story where people live extraordinary lives with other things and people. 13. The knowledge that death may A) Not be real.. Or B) be able to be defeated.
Please share topics you have faith in..

A newly peaked interest of mine, the dhenu mudra, the wish-fulfilling cow, Surabhi.
I told someone I would offer a mudra - I use mudras some in practice as routine, and hadn't recently thought much more about them - but the subject was brought up and I used the mudra for them and everyone, and I noticed the energetic change in the body from using the mudra, just holding it, using it more commonly. I researched it and adopted a mantra.

Nothing. Faith is blind belief in something. Belief should be well justified, rational, informed, and willing to change based on sufficient high quality evidence.
We're all filled with a million biases that we're not even aware we have, hidden desires that influence the things we think are logical and rational, we justify even unjustifiable beliefs and feel more strongly about them than things that are real and actually well justified, and we're not even aware of it. Blind faith just invites all that in and makes it worse. It is the antithesis of what we should be striving for.

If we're filled with so many subconscious biases, how can we be sure that our beliefs are informed and rational? We can, and do, consistently find information, science, facts, whatever you want to call it, to support almost any belief.

At a public restroom I saw written on the stall: "for a good time call 1-800-GOD" so i dialed it, He picked up in person, came over with the white van right away and I have to say: it IS a good time!

Faith is more like belief in love, or good will. An act of good faith is understandable in the the world. Or it is like a necessary priming, or fuel for something to occur. The concept is everywhere, as in with contracts - someone offers first all the time. The cafe gave me a meal, though they didn't see my money yet, but had evidence of things not seen.

I think that every person has and uses having faith in many things in life and day to day.
A person that gets in a car or on a plane puts faith into practice in that they believe they will make the journey.
As for those who believe (have faith) in the God of the Bible, most do not have blind faith, but draw upon many things (big and small) that gives their faith validity. An example of this is the Universe itself, they look at it and stand in awe of God's power to create.
Here's one example

In religious terms, sometimes faith is used in context of being able to perform miracles..

I'd like to say that with miracles, quantum phenomena at the macro level, the observer is active participant in its unfolding, but no one solely performs or witnesses.

Yeah maybe.
As much as I love math I'm not one of those "math reductionist" people.
I DONT think math can explain everything. The world is too complicated to be explained even by the most abstract math
Stephen wolfram is currently trying to distill everything down to homotopy type theory. Check out the "wolfram physics project" I don't care for lex Friedman, but wolfram show with Friedman is pretty good.

I have strong belief in the stories in the Bible,,, a lot of it could be symbolic, or exaggerated by a less than competent witness (who probably believes his own account and doesn't know it's not quite true), miss-heard information (though, thought to be true by the actual authors of the Bible) or many other holes in the narrative could be mistakes of some sort and may even be forgivable from my point of view, but the authors of the gospels I'm sure as could be thought what they were writing were the true accounts and stories and actions and words spoken by whom-so-ever they claim, the differences are a matter of "perspective," which we each got just like them, and it still fails us now and than, giving both true and false impressions and than left to our memory which has it's own problems.
Yeah, my Faith is in Christianity, preferably a non-denominational church, there's more freedom to choose how one shall worship or just in general keep the faith alive, it's usually more open-minded with more flexible people. It seems like if you were hurt at one of those other church's, you end up going to a non-denominational church afterward.
I'm really curious about Unitarian Universalist, there's one not far from where I live, but I've never been to one, I hope if I go I'd meet some nice, smart people, and I'd hope the services are good (hopefully involving some time for meditation).

I've wanted to check out a Unitarian Universalist for many years and attended a service a couple of weeks ago. I was invited by a family I've become friends with. There were some aspects of it that I liked. Much of the service was storytelling by the elders. Some were very good and funny, with great messages. It was a 90 min service and moved along nicely. Some original songs, with a piano player. The people were very friendly and welcoming. Children passed the plate, which I liked.
There was no meditation period. But many pauses for silence. Like many of the meditation groups in the area (I attend two regularly) the UU church has strongly embraced political and social activism. I get tired of all the talk of the problems with "whiteness" & "white privilege" & "white fragility".
I haven't been to any gathering recently were there was so much mask wearing. Which is fine. I think some people will wear masks for many years to come. At this point, I think it's like a security blanket and helps people feel safe.
