Defend its validity? Or click the abuse button out of spite, because you feel your faith cannot be defended, or you don't know how?
Which is it?
Like I really needed to ask.

Faith comes by hearing.(Romans 10-17). My faith is in God and not of myself. But I have had my faith questioned and even ridiculed. What you must do is find the source of your faith. By tracking what it is based on. In my case it is the word of God so it wasn't my words, even though the ridicule was directed at me. Jesus said that because he lives in me that the world would hate me also. But I serve a loving and forgiving God therefore I must do the same that his will might be present in my life. We also need to make sure that we don't ever close our minds to where God cannot revel his knowledge to us. He wants to perfect us into his image. And always keeping him in our thoughts will direct our paths. I know that I have found that my faith has been tested and I am glad. It is like a muscle the more you use it, the stronger it gets, it will be easier to take a stand. Faith not tested would not be faith, just hope. My hope and prayers is that it would strenghten you in the things of God.

Defend it's validity, of course. The voting and report systems on YA are often the preferred weapon of the most ignorant and close minded.
Blessed Be

I answer, I don't click the abuse button because somebody asks a question that is contrary to my faith.
I pray, cause only God can soften hearts.

It doesn't shake me,
I just get sick on the inside,
I feel it is a waste of time, time is so precious.
Just go to a worthy question
The abuse is to God our maker, not to any of us
We need to look beyond ourselves on this one

Defend your faith. Keep strong. Do not let others trample your beliefs.

Faith is just that, faith. If you couldn't defend it you must have faith in it. Almighty God needs no defending anyway.
