I have faith in our Lord the God-Emperor of Mankind. He is the light that guides us through the warp, the one who keeps the forces at bay.
He is the carrion king, kept alive by the sacrifices of billions each day.

I have faith that there is no time for peace, no time for respite: there is only war.

I take it you disagree?

*looks up from sorting through her mountain of junk mail* Phanari, what is the purpose of bringing up faith? What's the message you're trying to convey here, or the intent behind this thread as a whole?

I agree. Its a huge reason why I stay on this site.

Someone needs to question the youth and make them seriously look at their lives to see if they are being protagonists. Not aggressively, but we all benefit when we have friends or people whom we know who view matters differently, as they demand of us, if we are serious to our lives and our hearts, to ask and question why we view matters the way we do and if they are consistent with reality. If people like this do not demand their own existence, then we see some of the worst dangers man can suffer from; sloth and group think. This growing culture of nihilism and distance, however good some might think it, demands and ought to be questioned as a safe guard against the ills we are capable of.

You know there is a thing called the anti-hero right? ~__^

Yeah, so?

I am not professing to be an anti-hero, but just a person who likes to see people reach their potential. We never are moved far, on a personal or societal level, when we have any sort of status quo exist. Man is dynamic, alive, and his worst enemy is stagnation of his head and his heart.

I'm saying that there isn't just protagonists and antagonists.

No, that's pretty much it, provided, as I said, that one is serious with their lives. The essential element of the anti-hero, the thing that makes him so attractive, is that he is tragic because, for either things he did or things that happened to him, he is not of society. His burden is a torturous one, and one that we all can recognize and understand.

*Sigh* I do not understand why everyone has to be so critical about if there is god or not. Obviously there is someone or something out there that started life, the universe, and everything.

THIS is why!
Why? Why does there have to be something? Why can't you believe s**t just happens?

Science declares such.

If something cannot come from nothing, then the universe could not have just appeared. Something had to create it. However, the issue at hand is that something. Again, using the same theory, we must conclude that something else created something.

...See how the ladder extends?

And why does that something have to be sentient?

If we assume there is a creator, then the answer is simple: the universe is complex.

...Wait what?

Not only that but it's the more realistic role I think.

How can that be true? It makes no sense.

It actually makes a lot of sense. Theologian Paul Tillich called that the "trauma of nonbeing" which causes the human mind to conjure up an idea of an afterlife to alleviate the existential anxiety of the eventual reality of ceasing to exist.

Phanari

It's just a synonym for trust, and nothing more.

If you check through your NAS Bible for the meaning of Faith, it's clearly seen as Knowledge.

God doesn't exist and the only reason people think he does is because they have hope that they don't just stop existing after death well guess what, the sad truth is that the truth is sad.

How? We as humans dont desire a life of tragedy, hence why we avoid it when possible. The tragedy of the anti-hero is that he cant escape his personal dilemmas, he has no hope because he does not seek it out. Humans on the other hand seek and have hope in this world, so its rather difficult for me to see how its realistic beyond the idea that there are some people who do suffer so.
