>>I believe my absolute sureness to be more than subjective because:...<<

You appear to be arguing not for the objectivity of your faith, but the objectivity of the target of your faith. You can find similar, sincere testimony from people with different faith targets (Scientology, different religions, channeling, the benefits of a juice-only diet, etc). I did not mean to minimalize your faith by calling it "merely subjective". I'm sure that it is very real for you, with life-changing and long-enduring benefits. However, many of the faith objects/targets which supposedly provide similar benefits to the faithful are incompatible with each other. Maybe it is the act of faith itself rather than the object of the faith that provides benefits?

But that is not to say that all faith is beneficial. We see from earlier examples that faith can sometimes lead to erroneous or detrimental results.
