What is belief?

I have a very good friend who is a Christian. Today I had a long online chat with her by MSN and know something more than before.

I met her several years ago for the purchase of a laptop. At that time her knew nearly nothing about Christianism (maybe less than me because I had some study of this in university). When we talked about this, it was more like as a joke. Then she graduated and joined a large company in her hometown. Maybe by books, maybe by people around, she started to believe in Christianism.

She said it totally changed her life and even gave new life to her. She said the life style after reborn is just she want. I remember when she just touched this she sometimes mentioned about it but never tried to let me believe. But now she announces, “you can debate with me, the God will let you know what the truth is, by my mouth”. Hmm, it sounds so great.

Of course I have not really debated with her. I do not believe in any religion and my aim is just to know more about Christianism. And I know it is nearly impossible to let a Christian give up his belief. The same difficult thing is to let a non-Christian suddenly have one faith.

She gave me one example to prove there is the God which I think is a coincidence. She said one thing or two we can take them for coincidence, but if our life is full of these we can not simply think so. I insist it is because we have much deeper memory with these coincidences while others have already been forgotten by us. You see, we can not persuade each other, and will not give up our belief (is there is any) certainly.

What is belief? The God said all the people have sin and those who don’t believe in him will be punished after die. Who knows?
