(also from the book Seven Faith Tribes)
Intellectuals tell us that faith will fade away as people awake to the frivolous nature of belief in a higher power but too many have had it proven too real to them.
Faith continues to be an unassailable source of reasonable hope in an unreasonably hopeless world.
What are the alternatives?
Rely on politicians and bureaucrats, and in the systems they offer.
Trust the business world and the marketplace to solve life's deepest issues.
Live for pleasure and allow the entertainment industry to rule.
Believe the theories and spin that the educational system offers as "truth" until new discoveries or revelations shatter those pronouncements.
Faith provides meaning, hope, health, and a cohesive narrative to make sense of one's life and give it direction.
