the fundamental problem with faith

The fundamental problem with faith is that it requires, well, faith. It is too abstract to be understood by most people, not because they are incapable but because they refuse. By its very nature, one must have faith to understand faith, and thus, many people are often left out or misled elsewhere. The fundamental problem with faith is that, because of this, it can drive away the people one loves. The fundamental problem with faith is how it cannot be compromised, despite the fact that not to compromise is often dangerous and frequently painful. Isn't it funny how, despite all this, faith is still the best way?

North Park's motto of the year is "What is a life of faith?"

In simplest terms, a life of faith is extremely frustrating. Perhaps that is why, in the end, it is so rewarding.
