Faith Does Nothing N-O-T-H-I-N-G but Ease One's Mind During the Suffering

That sounds like the beginning of a long, philosophical discussion (long because it 'demands' evidence of faith's 'nothingness.')

There is a lot of Scripture that proudly promotes the goodness of faith ... just like there's plenty of Scripture that proudly promotes racism, slavery, self-mutilation, divorce and all kinds of presently-destructive behavior.

But the Bible Isn't an Instruction Book

You've heard it referred-to as "Life's Little Instruction Book," but that's not the entire story. It's 'life's instruction book' in the same way a twelve-year grammar-textbook series is "human-language's complete dictionary."

That is to say that--though you can extrapolate philosophy-for-today from the Bible--it only "instructs" you in a few practices: most-importantly, "honoring thy father and mother" and "reading."

...But we'll discuss that later. For now, I want to point out a site that reminded me how I need you.

See,

I Can't Go and Meet You to Do Stuff!

I can only go with you (if you don't come pick me up) 'by heart.' That is when 'faith' delivers: when reality cannot.

But 'faith' fails when reality can deliver. Such as, when I know you are going somewhere I cannot, and yet I know you can choose to capture and share moments that matter.

When you don't share the moments, I know it is because you "bear a lack of love," which convinces you that it's better to forget me than to share your moments' memories with me.

(I was going to say 'because you "hate",' but all 'hate' is is a 'lack of love'—a lack that haunts you like a grudge.)
