A question...

This is a question posed to everyone no matter what their belief: What good is your faith if you don't believe in it absolutely?

Faith is an absolute rock solid belief that something is true and thus can be relied upon in any circumstances, so I don't believe I'm wrong in thinking I'm right, and the Way that has been proven to me by my faith time and time again is the only right way. Otherwise, you're just wasting a lot of energy. I don't apologize for that. My faith in Jesus Christ has sustained me through good and bad, and just when I think all is lost over He pulls me through, miraculously. I can't explain it any other way. Here's where faith and politics collide not just with me but with everyone who has a belief system. Wanting to see my country run on Christian values and tenets that have worked in my life is not an evil agenda. It's the only way our country can stand the test of time, and I believe that absolutely. So did our forefathers.
