His Lack Of Faith Is His Own Issue

Despite his admitting he doesn't believe in what he preaches, this documentary just increased my faith anyway. It is just so obvious the spirit is working through him. Another issue is, since when is a religious organization taking care of business some how wrong? The Book of Leviticus was all about taking care of business . I hope Morjoe Gortner has gotten back his faith since this documentary was made.

My response:

Lol, so true!

Ironically, I think Jesus the Christ would have agreed.

Marjoe never had any faith in the first place to get back, he was trained to fully understand the system and the power of manipulation. It actually confirms to me that people will believe whatever they want to believe and go to great lengths to do that. Interesting you think the spirit is working through him, come on stop kidding yourself, maybe one day you too will realise it's all just a load of rubbish.

I have no idea what exactly "faith" is or why it would be a good thing to have.

I think it might have something to do with believing things that cannot possibly be true.

Weak people need rubbish to elevate themselves to where the stronger people reside, then they go door to door to make the people with actual character and morals drop a few pegs so they can feel worthless too. However, only ignorant fools require faith to get by, because the smart people know how pathetic they'd look requiring such a fraudulent crutch.

"The difference between faith and insanity is that Faith is the ability to hold firmly to a conclusion that is incompatible with the evidence, whereas Insanity is the ability to hold firmly to a conclusion that is incompatible with the evidence."

Maybe if your mother had smothered with you a pillow when you a kid, your faith would be tested...
