I'd never say that my Finnish friend is wrong.
He (like me) is not even wrong.

No worries....you've been most civil.I got your post wrong. Sorry.
I'm not sure how your post is relevant to what I posted.For a religious person the scripture is the proof of what we experience every day in our daily life. But i can understand for someone who do not believe or have faith in God it look like it's fault.
Having spiritual/religious faith is to believe in the unseen and faith in the teaching that what is told as wisdom is the truth, even before one see it.
Any thoughts?

The teaching and understanding of the teachings is evidence to me. I can not speak for othersTo believe something is true before you have evidence is a recipe for making foolish decisions.

The teachings is showing me evidence every day that it is true, by looking at the world.The teaching is evidence for the teaching? I don't follow.

And when prayer is answered it is proof enough to me
Even I make mistakes....twice last year alone!
For people of the book religions, sure, but for others, the conscience is the proof. If you have an experience, and your conscience allows it, without guilt or remorse, then it's dharmic, or right action. Of course there are those who stay confused and allow negative adharmic factors to convince themselves that it's 'right' even though it isn't. Those folks don't have finely tuned consciences. That principle is really no different than an instinctive young man lying to his girlfriend, saying he loves her, just to hope he can have sex.For a religious person the scripture is the proof of what we experience every day in our daily life. But i can understand for someone who do not believe or have faith in God it look like it's fault.
Uh oh....he isn't anymore?It's only February and you got @Conscious thoughts being Finnish?
Very few understanding deeper sense of interpretation of the texts today, so English in a forum lik RF is good enoughThere two aspects to this "faith". This is a way some people have rendered the word Taqwa and Muttaqoon. As in the Quran, chapter two, verse one uses the word precisely saying "This book is for them". Now understanding who this "Muttaqeen" is describing is a debated matter.
1. Some people seem to think that this exactly what you said. That it means those who believe in the unseen. This is an interpretation.
2. If you go to the linguistics, this means those who have Taqwa, which is a sense of righteousness within them. Do you understand? There are some people who have this, as in when you see a piece of Gold somewhere, and you have a chance to steal it, but you know that it not right, so you refrain from doing so. IT could be that you believe God is watching, but it also could be that you have that God-given righteousness within you.
So, this faith interpretation runs a little deeper than interpreting an English word in English.
I hope you understand.
