I see a lot of people thinking that faith is a weakness, and I understand that point of view, but I presonally feel it's one of the greatest strengths of all. One I don't have.

I believe it's a strength, too. I can't imagine myself without a religion. When everything around me seems far away and I feel so lonesome, I just turn to him and I do feel better. Although whenever I'm facing a huge problem I start doubting him, which makes me feel really bad. My school took us on Monday on a Spiritual Retreat where a priest told us about his life. I was shocked when he affirmed that right after leaving his family ( 3 kids and a wife) to enter the convent, his 2 yr.old son drowned in a pool and died. He said that he held him in his hands and placed him on the alter as a sacrifice to God. He believes it was Satan. But after that, he didn't return to his family and moved on with his spiritual life. Do you think this is weird or simply usual?
