For myself I find that I need to look at a greater story, if we think about it all words are man made, please question me if you feel I am wrong. Bearing this in mind we can see where the divisions come into play.
We talk about faith, what is faith, to some it is dogmatic religion, but that is still the words of other people? As I consider the spiritual (spirit) the real member of the cast, anything which uplifts is ok. I am all for the positive side of life but because I live on the mortal coil I feel we have to look into the whys and wherefores of how people are misled into believing that theirs is the only way. Have they been milked into that thought, can we/they begin to think for ourselves/themselves? Why do many fight and kill.
It is said that in the beginning there was the word, what was the word? What is the meaning of that word? Indeed do we know, have we been told?
Now faith is a great word, it can uplift the inner self but it also can be the use of many things. If we have faith in a supposed "god" other than the one who says "thou shalt have no other "god" than me", if that faith uplifts the soul then to me it is a good thing for it allows progression.
Take an illness, faith...it will get better.....now with this attitude there is every reason to think that it will uplift. It gives us the faith to go on and to be able to accept the final outcome. If someone decries that faith then we go down, thus introducing negative thoughts into our being and allowing depression to take hold. Not good for there is only one way...down...it is then hard to go up. Although it is said that when we go down we go up further but positive thought is the greater thing.
We know that we should never decry anyones faith no matter what that faith is because for me, it is the spiritual aspect which is the main thing.
Faith is a great word:- For All Individuals To Heal:
From the depth of darkness there shone a light,
A tiny spark but oh so bright.
The darkness changed itself to day,
The light had come to show the way.
