Is Faith Sufficient?

Is your belief sufficient? About two months ago, in a parenting class I attended, our hosts talked about the story about a couple who started us instead of going to their doctor for their faith treatment for their sick children. That child died soon, and another child died four years later. They were arrested for unintentional murder and received probation. There was discussion as to whether the parent mistreated the child due to negligence, or whether parents were really parents and asked only the best questions for children through faith.

In the early days of my minister, I did not understand this. I thought that everyone had enough confidence to believe in Christ. After all, we have confidence in many things every day. When we drive, we believe that other people will comply with traffic regulations. We believe that our food and water are not polluted. We believe in doctors and pharmacists who have difficult to read prescriptions. They look at the graffiti and give us a bottle of medicine. We trust banks with paychecks. I thought that it would be sufficient for people to convey this belief to Jesus as an object of faith.

Personally, regardless of whether I believe it or not, I respect individuals. I admire those who tackle their beliefs, considering that they have sufficient thought and decide to pursue God even so. This requires courage, belief, and praise. I think you will find that many atheists respect respect for these individuals. As Richard Dawkins says, "I respect you and respect your faith." I am not a member of the National Button Association, the Skateboarders Association or the numerous Tumblr, but the Christian (or other religious) system I will not respect. The circle of people. And I will call religion simply as priority or unreasonably weighted treatment by religion. For institutions like Christianity, it has basically conquered and dominated the majority of the world since 380 BC. It is undoubtedly unbearable rude.
