People don't fear faith, after all, not believing in anything is still believing in something. People fear the bigotry, ignorance, greed, dishonesty, malice, hate, and avarice in almost all of today's organized religions.

I don't fear "faith". Faith is a concept. It's like saying I fear theories (which I don't). I just don't happen to have "faith" that God exists. And I don't think that I could make myself have faith. It's not a matter of fear, I assure you.

faith is feared because people DO NOT know enough about it.
People have Blind Faith in religions and religious beliefs because they think they will become immortal, see the returning messiah, have 15 virgins in heaven when they die!
WHAT BS!
Having True Faith in something that is 100% proven in the ONLY Faith to have, Like:
Our Creator
Ourselves
The Universe
etc..........................
Here's the Solution:
"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ
Create a private, personal, direct, divine relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truely Free!
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!

Because faith is beyond what man can do with his natural powers or can understand with his natural mind. In other word faith is feared because it is supernatural.

Because faith is an emotion based on nothing but emotion. You don't need any proof when you have faith, so you will believe anything as long as it's in line with your faith
THAT is scary

Faith = putting aside one's Logic, Intelligence, Rationality, etc..
That is why Faith is feared. One prides one's self on Logic, Intelligence, Rationality, etc., to prove one's self worth. For one to set these things aside is to be seen as a sign of weakness and / or foolishness.
This is why Faith is feared because one would have to put aside pride / self worth.

I'm not afraid of faith.
I just think blind faith in something that there is no proof for one way or the other is a silly waste of time.
Peace

No one fears faith except those who base their lives upon it.
It is quite a shakey and uncertain foundation. It could collapse at any moment. This is frightening.

If it is faith of any substance, it will lead one to self examination, which naturally is hard work and easier avoided. . .even feared.

People are scared to trust in something they cannot see or touch. It's a frightening thought putting their lives in the hands of something they are unsure to be real. I, however, am so glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone into the arms of Christ, because my faith has made me the person I am today.
