everyone faces their faith alone

Faith for believers pleases God. Faith for the atheistic view is all there is to fall back on since one will never have all the facts to prove a negative. So we all are forced to operate on faith. It helps to believe strongly and steadily in something. This something for believers is their Bible and reading and rereading it until it is deep into their spirit. Atheists usually believe in some form of humanism, which could be themselves or mankind.

(I understand that some adults are giving teaching the children another sort of regressive language designed to render everything as simple as possible so as to make everything the same. So mankind would be another word. Well, they have their language and I have mine.)

There is another route to faith alongside the Bible. It is unendorsed but I think it valid. Faith cannot be effective if it comes within itself. In other words if one wants faith then it must be as if independent of or alongside a belief such as the Bible. That would be a belief in another person outside yourself which for Christians would be Jesus. It could also be God and or the Holy Spirit but I favor Jesus. This reflects a simple binary nature rather than a mathematics elaborately organized. 

 I favor Jesus but I find myself talking primarily to the Comforter. Faith is not so easily gained as I suspect many people may think. One cannot believe so easily as a belief based on agreement, or just going along with someone else, rather it must be deep down into the spirit already locked in and decided. It necessarily must be worked on daily if you are to move it forward.

Jesus was the first prominent voice to reveal the importance of the unseen spirit within elevated to the Holy Spirit from which it comes. When science dedicated to the known split off from the devotion to the unknown from which all things known originate, this was a serious handicap to enlarging knowledge. This handicap suffered a serious blow when Newton discovered scientifically characterized knowledge that was totally unseen, such as gravity. This knowledge was perhaps the only abstract spiritually characterized facts that appeared in the focus of Jesus up to the time of Newton.

There are many individuals who cannot relate whatsoever to anything spiritual and continue their focus on things concrete which misses entirely the binary nature of faith arising from faith founded on a conscious decision to believe on a power source from within a personified Spirit. In the best case, this would be Jesus.
