Could you show me where I have cast aspersions on your religious beliefs. I provided a possible interpretation of your words and suggested that if my interpretation was correct then clearly someone was clueless about the Catholic religion. And those who follow those who are clueless are also clueless.

Now I used an interpretation of Good For You(GFY) If I was wrong in my interpretation and another less complimentary meaning should be applied. I would clearly judge someone is clueless in understanding the belief's of any religion I know of. Telling you this is the polite thing to do.

What you say you believe and how you express it tells exactly who you are and how well you understand what you are saying. Every word, phrase and sentence is window into your mind. Unless your lying, or attempting to deceive.

I hope terrorists are clueless about Islam, but I have not seen any compelling argument or logic or reason that has proved that to me. I must still take that on faith. But I've seen argument and logic and reason that may prove beyond doubt that terrorists are not clueless about Islam.

I hope my faith in the goodness of Islam is well founded.

The life and recorded words of Our Lord are the most logical symmetric and recursive examples of truth and consistency.
That is not a matter of faith, it is obvious from the words and deeds. Faith is looking at this and that Our Lord said he was the son of God and taking him at his word.
