Is faith allways bad?

I've been reading your posts and I applaud your positive views and perceptions about  the metaphysical and reality, but these can only be views and perceptions. Having great faith in yourself is a fantastic attribute and will give one the ability and courage to try to surmount difficult tasks. Unfortunately, physically moving a mountain, even with the best of intentions, is physically impossible.One of the great things about faith based philosophies is learning to accept things that one cannot change, or in the case of the mountain, physically move it.[/QUOTE]

Wasn’t Gautama Buddha able to walk through mountains?  Didn’t he at times meditate under water as well as atop?  Didn’t Jesus heal the cripple and raise the dead.

 If these things are possible then why would moving a mountain be impossible?

bwahaha

I don't subscribe to the first statement. Why are most examples of faith suspicious?
