RootsBooster Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 No, spiritual awareness is a part of faith. Or, rather, a result of faith. So, this whole pointless detour aside and getting back to the original point, these people (who never actually lost their faith) don't find their faith again, because they only thought they'd lost it due to feeling an absence of spiritual awareness. If that's what you meant by "Yes but many have found faith by rebelling against that indoctrination, and finding their own way", then no, they haven't, because they had their faith the whole time.

Waldo Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would think faith and spiritual awareness are quite different things. Faith being very much wrapped up in a particular religion's terminology and framework. Spiritual awareness having nothing to do with religion. An atheist can be more spiritual aware than a religious person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnailyBoy Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The beauty of spiritual awareness and faith is that it can be made up as you go along. It requires nothing related to the natural world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're categorically talking about faith in theism, which we are Faith -complete trust or confidence in someone or something: this restores one’s faith in politicians -strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof: bereaved people who have shown supreme faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop thinking, and see for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
