Faith Requires

It is divinely divulged to us that God exists and is ever present in our lives, and in the world inside us, underneath us, above us and beyond us.

We cannot escape our destiny, which is to spend our lives wrestling how to relate to this supernatural being, the Author of Reality.

Our jobs are to love God and obey God. Some faithful system is required to guide us in this lifelong process of working with and for God.

Our faith cannot just be cold, objective, scientific and rational, and yet rational religion elevates the conversation between God and us.

Indeed, faith cannot just be exercised and lived from the head. The heart must be satisfied too. The universal law of moderation demands of us that we, in part, relate to God with emotion, feeling, passion and hunches too, without answers, without rational explanation.

Mavellonialism is a faith of the head, but it is also a faith of the heart. As all the great religions, including Islam, die and thus are reborn with new core beliefs driving them, we new believers and we traditional believers must approach God, react to God, and work with God in thought, word, deed, and sentiment.
