5. That is also a tenant of faith.
Edited on Wed Jun-08-11 02:56 PM by RandomThoughts
A person can not know for sure about the supernatural, or it might be a choice for self gain, not a choice of how they want to think and feel.

If the supernatural showed you exactly what form and what it was, you might follow for self gain. If you can't know for sure, or know that truth includes your perspective, then you are included in the spiritual belief you believe in.

That is also why proving the supernatural exist is prosperous, proving its exact form would be counter productive.

There must be the choice, for there to be part of the person involved in the spiritual, also why I believe faith can not be coercion. It is also why I believe free will exists.
