Some Religious Blather ^_~
A person's faith in God is amazing.

I've just been reading a friend's blog , and I continue to be astounded by how high her regard is for her faith. She believes totally, and absolutely in her own version of God, and is willing to fight for that belief, tooth and nail. At least I think she is, from what I've read this is the case.

And then there's more people. Like another friend, Kal, for instance. She goes to church every Sunday, almost without fail. And it amazes me sometimes that she'll do it, even if it's raining sleeting and hailing. She'll get up and trundle herself off to church. It's a quality in people I admire. A determination. A willingness to place complete and utter faith in something that has to be true, or you've spent your life living a lie.

That's why arguements occur between people. Maybe not religiously, but in a placement of belief. "I believe this is right, and I believe you're wrong. Thus we disagree and must have this arguement." I hear that all the time, and often it's my own stubborness that gets in my way. How can I possibly be wrong? I've said it's like this, and so it must be so.

That's why I don't like answering questions in Maths too much. There's only one answer (or there's two sometimes in A-Level Maths, but y'know) and how do I know I'm right? I can't always be right, otherwise I'd be a star student and wouldn't have to be resitting a million and one exams this January.

I wish I could have the kind of faith I see in those around me. A willingness to believe. I guess there's nothing wrong with what I think, and I also suppose you could claim I'm not blindly following something. But I personally think that, while not yet willing to put my entire trust in something, I'm an open person. I like to hear what people have to say, and I take it all on board. I also think, in not being sure what to believe, I'm less judgemental. I won't stamp my foot and say "I'm right!" - which kind of contradicts what I've just said...

Blah, like the title says - I'm blathering ^_~
