Rachel Weisz

[ItsjustMe]

I don't practice any religion. What's interesting to me is the similarities between religions ... I am really interested in ending the prejudices. Faith is a beautiful thing. I don't have it yet. Maybe one day I'll find God.

1. Faith: trying the best you can to believe in something you know,

can't possibly be true.

[anciano]

2. Exactly.

[Voltaire2]

3. why is 'faith', specifically god beliefs, beautiful?

I know this is a common sentiment, but I truly don't understand why.

9. The same reason ICP lamented scientists ending all the mysteries

Imo

Pure childishness.

Yes, Santa is a magical idea. But when we grow up we let it go.

4. Faith in a higher power seems to work for AA members

Personally, I am not a religious person nor am I very spiritual. I don't have a problem with that the wonderful Rachel Weisz said about her beliefs.

5. Her parents, Hungarian Jews, fled to England to escape the Nazis

The Holocaust was the inevitable result of centuries of pogroms, which were founded on and driven by faith.

How is faith beautiful?

[Redleg]

6. I don't consider hatred of another religion to be a "faith"

It is bigotry pure and simple.

[DavidDvorkin]

7. Hatred is a common result of faith

So much for the beauty of it.

8. One man's faith is another man's poison

...a Muslim's faith is a bit different and seems more extreme than a reformed Jewish faith, or a practicing Catholic's faith.

As with so many things, extremism in faith is dangerous. Everything in moderation.

Faith in Providence over seeking medical attention could get you killed.

My faith is in humanity. Most of it, anyway.
