    I worked out to Limp Bizkits cover of George Michael's "Faith" once.

    Nicely done!

    I am very surprised in the post you received. More negative than positive.

    I have faith in everything I do and I pray daily.

    I'm an atheist.


    So, faith in myself, I suppose. It isn't like a higher being guides to say "no" to the donuts. ;D

    An athiest has to have faith that there is no greater power. Therefore, atheists have faith. Honestly, I believe it takes more faith to not believe in God than to believe in God.

    I believe you are misunderstanding what an atheist is :flowerforyou:

    I think you're mixing up faith with courage.

    Only if you feel that everyone not sharing the same religion as yourself is a negative thing. The rest of us do not feel that way.

    i only have faith in myself. i do not rely on faith in others or a faith in a central god. you can only know yourself. btw, im somewhere between an agnostic and a spiritualist. kind of...maybe...idk.

    I have faith in myself that I'm strong enough to change things that I can in my daily life.

    Otherwise, in terms of "religious" faith, I'm an atheist, and do not feel that any deity gives me power or strength, or insight.

    None,

    I'm a catholic. God didn't get me fat, so I'm going to be the one to get me fit.
    He can have my used up ripped corpse when I'm done with it.

    You should read Made to Crave by Lysa Terkeurst. Awesome book! We just finished a bible study group on this.

    I just did the same...this book & Bible study made an amazing difference in my life. I must say my workouts & healthy eating were amplified so much by spending time in His word & sharing with my christian girlfriends. Highly recommended!!

    The faith in myself that I will overcome my limits plays a large role.

    I believe in what the Bible says, and it says that in Him (God) we live and move and have our being; that every breath we breathe is given by God, so without Him or apart from Him I can do nothing. The Bible also tells me to cast all my cares on God because He cares for me. I care about health and fitness, so I know God will give me the strength I need.

    If you can see it, you can be it. Believe and you will succeed.

    It plays a big part for me. I am a Christian and very far from a perfect one, but I know that He accepts me the way that I am.

    We have free will to believe or not to believe.

    I can't understand why so much bashing from non believers towards believers?
