How does Faith relate to the world in which we live?
All people display acts of faith either subconsciously or consciously in everything they do. It can be from something as simple as eating the cafeteria food to ones belief on the reason we live. What I mean by this is that faith is a matter of trust, and all people live off of it.
When looking at faith in religious terms, we all acquire it, even the atheists. The atheists believe there is no God, but this thought in itself is faith. The Christians, Buddhists, nihilists, you name it, are all based on faith. Although their faiths are different, each religion tries to find the answer to why we are here, where we came from, and what is wrong with the world.
Having faith is what keeps people in the world motivated to live and rely on each other. No one faith is known to be the ultimate truth as there is no solid proof for any one, and therefore the reason it’s not called a fact. Because of the existence of faith, it allows the people of the world to induce hope and happiness and truly is a key to the world in which we live.

Lauren,
Personally, I cannot imagine a world without faith, and I think without this essential element of Christianity, it is weak. I personally revel in the mystery of God. I think it drives people crazy sometimes, but I like the idea that God is mysterious and beyond my comprehension. The way I see it my brain is a peanut compared to the thoughts of God, and for me that is comforting, because I recognize that truly I am nothing, and am in need of God because of this.
