Your faith was strong, but you needed proof

Once I asked my good Danish friend, TJ, what her favourite song was, and she said, "Hallelujah". I listened to the song, originally composed by Leonard Cohen, and was instantly moved by the melody and lyrics. My favourite line is this:

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof....


Aren't we all like that sometimes? We profess our faith in the divine, in someone or in the system. But ironically, we need proof to support our belief. I'm listening to the song as I'm writing now just to remind myself of my foolish human nature.
