In Revelation, God commanded that we don't attack Iraq.
The faithful would have listened to Germany, France, and England, when they said that the US has no proof of terrorism. The faithful would have listened to the pope, in his strongly worded See to the United States admonishing war with Iraq (fearing that Revelation was right that Satanic demons would attack Iraq, and triggering the end times).
The faithful follow God. God said "thou shalt not kill," and "turn the other cheek."
The faithless say that we're sitting ducks if we don't go after the al Qaeda, and it makes more sense to fight them on their soil, rather than wait for them to attack us on our soil.
The faithless use logic (albeit, flawed logic) to guide them. The faithful listen only to God, and if God tells them not to attack Iraq, then the all knowing God (who also knows the future) must be right. It must be that God will get terrorists in his own way, and we shouldn't defy God and attack on our own.
The faithful see God's miracles. The faithless turn a blind eye (there is no one more blind that he who will not see). Revelation is a miracle prediction, and most Christians prefer to tell lies about it. Revelation predicted war in Iraq, but most Christians tell lies (it's an imaginary Babylon...lie), (Babylon is a state of mind....lie).
Scientists proved that mankind's influence on Global Warming is accelerating it. Some have faith that scientists are wrong (but they are wrong, and their leaders lie). Others have faith in God, and know that they must preserve God's environment.
The faithful are sometimes misguided. They don't follow the teachings of God, but they follow the teachings of mankind. Greedy oil billionaires want to continue making smog, continue drilling leaking wells off the coast, continue crashing tankers and making oil spills, and continue fracking next to populated areas. One cannot serve both money and God. Choose....mammon or faith in God.
The faithful were given miracles to make them believe. It is a miracle that God predicted war in Iraq. Yet, most Christians don't realize that Revelation is a modern miracle.
The superstitious have no miracles to guide them--perhaps that is the key difference.
