Opposite of Faith is not Unbelief

Recently I happen to listen to a catholic priest, a Jesuit from Rome's inner circles I guess, talk about faith on a early Sunday morning radio interview. Kind of liked his novel thought about faith. He said that the opposite of faith is not unbelief but proof. Yeah, it made me think awhile and if you think deeply, it does make sense. How many times our faith is based on 'He said, She said', etc., rather than our own experience. Given, many of us apparently don't get those experiences. But what I think the problem perhaps is is, it is not that we don't experience it, it is our inability to perceive and articulate it.

So....how do we perceive it?
Keep searching for the cues and you will find it come to you BIG and CLEAR.

How do we articulate it?
Just use plain language but use words that try to reflect the exact perception than making it up. Its far more believable and sustainable if its from your heart and believe me other people can easily find it out.
