No religion here but i do ponder the question "why do some people put so much faith into their faith?"

That is a relly good question
And i think most faith based religious teachings would be able to answer it. In buddhism there is not a direct faith toward a God or even to Buddha, but you can say that we do put faith in that the teching given by Buddha is true and that when we follow it we too can gain inner wisdom to enlighten. But the difference in the way i see it is that as a buddhist we must do the work our self to gain this wisdom, where for example many from Christian faith do put full faith on God to take them to heaven. But i will let Christian answer for this form of faith, I honestly do not know enough about that form of faith
There isn’t one in mine.

I guess the answer must be quite easy from the religious point of view. However, the meaning of my question is still truly unanswered and probably not even understood. Sure i have heard many answers, all boil down to faith. Faith is a subjective thing and to me is meaningless in the god scenario.

Well it depend on if the question that arise will give more inner wisdom when the question has been answered i would think.
Maybe i see the importance of asking my self question in a different way then others do
Of course there will be questions as one strives to gain understandings, and I ask questions quite often, because I’m inquisitive like that. But usually such answers are found by mundane means such as research or simply asking one who knows the answer.
But I have no “one question” for which I seek an answer, mainly because I’ve come to a realization that is the ego that desires such answers.

Not me. The teachers in my sampadraya (teaching lineage). That book was published maybe 8 years back. It's just the basics.

To answer for my self, Yes i found truth within my path in Buddhism, but there will always be question i can ask
The level of wisdom i am at now is not the highest i can reach so still there are questions to be asked to my self

But in my journey I have found wisdom comes even if no question is there. I don't ask anymore, and I receive more than I could imagine. I just leave myself open for the input.

I lived a long time asking "Why is this" or "Why is that"? The only answer I seemed to get is "Why is there not?" I then realized my only question should be "What do I need to know?" It has served me well for a long time.
