> I believe in God, but I've never had much faith. What is your faith based on? Is it based on experience, where you have had conscious contact with God and God has helped. Or is it based on religious texts? Is it based on what others have told you, or did you somehow develop faith outside of religion?

I see not much has happened here since I left, but this is a very good question you have asked. You say you believe in God, but you've never had much faith. Belief in God IS faith, unless you have seen him in person. Faith in God comes through the Holy Spirit, and God said it is a stronger, more powerful witness than seeing is. I have experienced that spiritual witness, testifying that God exists, and that He lives. In fact, if I saw Him face to face I wouldn't know any more surely than I know now that He exists.
