About This Quote
Faith is believing in what you can't see or touch. It's not necessarily wrong; it's just that faith in general isn't necessarily sane or logical. You can believe in angels and God in general, but that doesn't mean you'll necessarily believe in the angel of death or hellfire, for instance. Faith is something that all religions teach to the members of their creed, but it's important to remember that faith is something that can be used for good or bad.
