Given that no one would make any large investment without having some evidance to support that choice! Yet these same people will blindly believe there is a God with no evidance to support this God's existance!

Freebrid what you describe is not faith!
Why do you think an accident is called an accident?? If you hit someone on purpose that can not be called an accident! It was an ON PURPOSE NOT AN ACCIDENT!!

I believe sooo many of us these days have no time (or believe they don't) or energy to check on their choices...so many people live paycheck to paycheck without enough education to really question any meaning...they need a space to let out their feelings and have someone, anyone, guide them and promise them that it'll get better someday...it's easier to fit that into your working, grocery-shopping, picking-up after kids, cleaning up, tv-watching kinda day than really find out, don't you think???

You do it all the time. When you drive, you assume that the car next to you will not ram you. You have no proof that it won't, yet you get on the road every day. You are relying on faith. You certainly aren't relying on facts, because chances are, you've seen or been in an accident. And most likely, you continue to drive. It's only faith that you won't be hit that convinces you that driving is safe enough to do.
For many humans, It's only a very small step to marry that faith with a diety. It's not important who or what the diety is, they simply know that most of getting through life (like getting through traffic) requires faith as much as facts. Atheist (of which I am) think the same way. They just assign that faith to mathmatical odds, scientific theory, and self-determination rather than to a diety.

There is enough evidence looking at you when you look in a mirror, did humanity just decide to create itself, create planets and all life. Explain that one to me. Yet, because of this need to know how we were all brought to Earth, it was not imagined because we are real, just put your hand on an open flame and see if your hand doesn't burn, we are real even if life feels like a dream. This God and that is only a name but the food you eat comes from where? From Earth and did Earth decide to build itself, now that is amazing. Before you doubt God or a Soul remember your heart was created to beat and your spirit is the essence who you were born to be. If your birth was not destined you would not be here.

You say people follow blindly because you are blind to your God and your soul. To you both are things you dont see. They are like magic to you. I hope one day you will wake up and realize that God is a Transcendent being. He does not need to "perform" for you to see. All you have to do is open your eyes.
And by the way, there is no harm in believing in someone greater and believing that one has a soul. When you die, who do you want to call? What a waste your life is if you believe that in the end we all just dry up. What have you to lose by not believing in something>

This is something that cannot be understood until actually experienced.
It's like the reason an intelligent and strong-willed woman stays with a partner that regularly abuses her.

It's unexplainable. It's like a pull. You just know it in your heart and you follow god's calling, whatever he wants you to do. There doesn't need to be evidence, what you feel deep inside is evidence enough.

Faith is knowing though not yet seen. From creation we were shown all there is to know of God. we have all the accumalated knowledge & experiences of all things within our consciousness (the kingdom of God within). in our exploration of this knowledge life after life we have lost sight of our origin. YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART THIS IS TRUE. WAKE UP.
