Belief is rationalization or an agreement where faith is realization however subtle it may be...the former is of the mind where faith is of the heart.


Many people try to make sense of their intuitive feelings with the help of their mind, and this often leads to blind faith in an object or person unworthy of worship. Rationalising one's intuition can lead to blind faith and fales belief. God healed me but I think x, y or z had something to do with it. My belief in x, y and z is confirmed by erroneous reasoning. I know I have made this mistake many times, and now I am trying to change my perception of faith.
