"You probably think I am against you or that I wish to destroy your faith ... I have no such thoughts/fears/hopes. I have no trust in the institutions/doctrines/claims of other men (we hold that in common) beyond what I can personally confirm through a preponderance of evidence. My faith is what it is. You could stand the scribes who wrote the Quran, the Torah, the New Testament, and the Bhagavad Gita in front of me and have them confess convincingly to having lied. It would not change my faith even a smidgeon. I have no doubt about existence and eternity. What is temporal is temporary. Temporary insists that what it is comes to pass and be replaced by what is next (In this case not temporary). I am in touch with my soul and am convinced that existence is purposeful. There is nothing that you could do to strengthen or weaken my faith. However, yf you have some method or book of living that is an improvement over my current situation, I doubt it... but hey, bring it on... I am all into self improvement stuff. You seem to confuse that sort of stuff with faith. Oh well.
