The problem with having faith.What everyone should know about the murky dark side of faith.
Believe it or not, having faith has a bad side.
I want you to know that.
I preach a lot about having faith, surrendering to life, and accepting reality as it is.
That’s part of what us clergy-folk do — remind people that they can rely on (the) God (of their understanding).
But, I don’t think I’ve ever disclosed the negative or possible adverse complications that come with faith.
(This is way overdue.)
If you have faith, if you surrender to life, if you accept reality as it is, you’ll find that there isn’t as much to do.
That's it.
I thought you should know.
(For me, I’ve found that having compassion, being generous, and acting in a loving manner towards myself and others helps pass the time.)
With love,
Rabbi Brian
