  What difference would it make if people became more aware of how much they continually exercise faith in daily living? The video presentation suggested that people tend to make gods in their own image. What is the significance of this?

  If people were more aware of how much they exercise faith everyday, they would realize that faith is not necessarily a bad or weak thing. One aspect of faith is trust. Every time I fly, I put my trust in the Pilot and the airplane. If I consider just how much I really exercise faith in people who are fallible, then maybe I can really give God, our creator, a chance. Understanding that we make gods in our own image provides some explanation of our differing thoughts and actions. Two people might have totally different opinions about a moral dilemma primarily because of the way they see God.

  The difference it would make if people became more aware of how much they exercise faith in daily living is that they would recognize that every act is an act of faith. It might be faith in one’s self, but it is still an act of faith. Speaking of self, people often make God into their own image. This is significant because it shows that we were created with an inherent desire to serve. It is just a matter of who we choose to serve (God or man).

  I agree with the speaker when he said that everyone believes in something. Faith is an important part of life whether people realize that or not. I find it very interesting that the Greeks who came up with Zues and Poseidon created them to look just like human men. I think we as humans try to invision gods as human.

  People will believe what they believe until they are touched by the Holy Spirit. People tend to do as they learn and only those who are called will have the hunger of searching for the truth

  Why do those who are anti-religious seem to be unaware of their own exercise of faith? What rationalizations might secular people use to defend their views?

  Faith is a bedrock concept. Innate. As conscious beings we each get to choose

  Those who are anti-religious are seemingly unaware of exercising their own faith because they lack understanding that faith is involved in every aspect in life. Most secular people would defend their views by saying that faith is not an aspect of their every day life despite the fact that faith is simply defined as the “evidence of things not seen.” This not only applies to faith in God, but it can apply to practical reasoning such as, “I have faith that when I walk across the floor it will bear my weight.”

  Because in their mind believing in a religion is ultimately faith in something you can’t see; materialism doesn’t allow for that, everything must have a naturalistic answer.

  This is again a human defense mechanism. The small things in their life do not seem like exercises of faith. The anti-religious person goes about life without a care for what they cannot see, but they cannot see many things. To them, the daily, small things are not as I stated before, exercising faith. They are simply living in an unsure world.

  The views that secular people hold always go back to what they see as truth. They point to the things they can see as evidence of a non-existent God. They look at the bad things happening in the world and to people that they know and use that as an excuse to not believe in a Creator. They ask why would God do that to innocent people? Why is there so much pain in the world if God existed?

  I think that they reject all forms of faith because they associate that word with faith in God. They forget that they have faith in other things and that this word does not always refer to belief in God. I think that sometimes people make excuses maybe saying that there is not enough evidence or that belief in God is more a cultural thing from old times and that its not relevant anymore or other things like that.
