Homeless man quote of the day

"I'm a faithful child, but how can death be the word of god? It doesn't make sense, but then again, look around us. None of it makes sense."

This homeless man was telling me about a book involving a number of dead women in a church. He followed the description with that quote, as calm as can be, and then left the store.

I thought faith was intended to remove the need of sense? To explain the inexplicable with the simple idea that faith is all one needs for sense. It's unfortunate that faith has lost that touch. Although I don't believe, I imagine its comforting to feel that something can make sense out of nonsense. It's a shame that it doesn't anymore.
