Nothing my eye, Something for sure
Faith is confidence and trust in what you know to be true, and/or what is justified in believing. If I didn't have faith like that I wouldn't be able to move.
I have faith in the values and virtues. There's about 100 positive character traits that I can name. I also have faith in my own reason and how I logic. The more I learn the more I realize the vastness of the unknown, and the extraordinary amount of valid human knowledge that is out there that I know not of.
I believe that a person must be able to govern themselves or face grim reality.
My beliefs in what happens after death have no bearing on my practices of faith. I have faith in my objective morality. It's discoverable!
I reason and make judgments from general to specific matters. Life is important while your alive be it finite, or of infinite duration. If life is finite, it's still worth living, and is no less important. I've always tried to get the biggest picture. Get the gestalt one of my high school teachers used to say.
I wasted a lot of time on religion in the past. Now I am spiritual but not religious. Religion is a mixed bag and 90% rubbish. It's a poor substitute for wisdom.
My spiritual sense enables me to be objective and rule myself according to qualities of virtues that govern my emotions.
