A life based on [religious] faith is a life based on pure speculation, and speculation is, by its very definition, unsound.

About This Quote

Faith is a very important aspect of our lives. Often times it is the only thing that keeps us going when we are down and out. However, many people who use their faith to justify their actions often find that they have little support when they need it most. They often face hardships and struggle with personal problems but instead of taking it upon themselves to seek help, they turn to their faith for answers.

This is a very dangerous practice because the answers they receive may not be the answers they were looking for. Often times, people rely on religious beliefs for answers only to find out later that the answers were wrong and they never should have believed in their first place.
