Faith is omnipresent. It is present everywhere at the same time. Everyone has their own faith in which they believe and trust in. The Sawi tribes' faith used to be the belief of betrayal and treachery, which created their society to have barbaric and violent culture, even murdering and betraying their own families and friends. But, faith is often defined as belief and trust in relationship with religious matters. Faith is quite different in the atmosphere we live in compared to the Sawi tribes' faith before it was changed to Christianity. Just like I have mentioned before, everyone has their own faith. Once in our lifetime, everybody undergo difficulties and hardships and withstand through it. Religious faith is what helps us most of the time. It's because we trust and believe in our faith. Faith motivates us to carry on and to endure. For an instance, believing in an intangible God and his plans for us even after death, is the faith among Christians. Overall, faith is omnipresent and it motivates, inspires, and encourages us through our life.

Faith is the one thing Science / culture and intellect cannot adequately explain. I love that about being a Christian. Mrs.Mc.
I agree with you that faith exists in everyone, and I think you have an excellent post, but I just wanted to ask: is our so-called "civilized" culture really that different from how the Sawi was before it converted to Christianity? Sure, there are a few obvious differences, like the fact that we don't kill our families or honour treachery, but we are still an barbaric and cruel civilization, I think. Maybe it's an innate trait in every human, but why else would we enjoy horror movies and Super Bowl and boxing and wrestling and so on? I'm sure you know of the animation/manga/movie "Death Note". I love it, but do you really think that a culture that is not "barbaric" or "cruel" could come up with such a piece, and then actually like such a murderer?
