What does it even mean to believe in GOD? I think it is irrational to starve myself to death while waiting for some undetectable entity to bring me some food.
I was suggesting that you shouldn't worry about eating tomorrow, only about eating today, if you trust that God will provide for you as per Matthew 6.
I believe GOD exists, just like I believe the farmers who grow my food exist. I do not 'trust that he will look after' me, though
Indeed, that kind of faith is rare, which is what I said. It's not a personal slight against you that you don't make gigantic unwarranted leaps of faith.
That GOD or the farmers have what it takes to provide for me or that my trust may be put fully into them for that provision is no reason to stop going to work each day to earn money to live.
Of course not. But if you trust God will provide for you, if you have faith that he will, then you need not worry about saving money.
It depends on what you mean by 'faith'. Hoping for someone else to look after you just because they can is, in my book, a pretty piss-poor way to understand faith.
Indeed. But I was suggesting faith to mean 'trusting God will do what he says' not 'hope that God will exercise his capabilities'. Matthew 6 asks for a huge amount of faith, a foolish amount of faith in my opinion. I was just drawing the distinction between actually trusting someone (having faith) and merely believing they exist.
