Faith comes from hearing and is a choice & a test. When people lose their faith, that's when they fail a test from God. The reward is up there, not on here.
In regard to "hating the government", let me share something from the 'Good News'. You reap what you sow and sow what you reap. If you despise the government, then the gov. will reject you. Many people make the mistake of looking the world as a whole or America as a whole. Just be concerned about yourself and walk with God. Believe in the Lord and things will be fine for you and your family.
Well then obviously I'm going to hell by what you say. So I definitely fall into the camp of faith can be religious, but isn't by default. I had been looking for something to place my faith in, not really consciously, but in a meaning of life sorta way. Searching for the place to place the energy my life has to offer. I'm pretty sure that is teaching. Make the world better one student at a time. So, after stepping back to look at what I feel, I guess I place my faith in the future.
And being rejected by the government isn’t a big deal. Most of the people are already rejected by the government. So why not stand up and shout for your rights to be returned? Why not call them on all the BS they pull on us? There is a constant battle between the people and the government for power. We have been slowly losing this battle for a very long time, and the political machine becomes stronger when people give up on defending what is theirs.
