I love your passion, Jim. I think I respond to that, as much as your logic. You do border though, sometimes, on being a kind of Bible-less bible-thumper--your passion turning sometimes into the over-zealousness that you disparage in some Christians.

I am not sure what I believe...I do think faith works for some...but for me..."doubt" works...keeps me curious, and searching...and the "more you know, the more you know you DON'T know..."

For some of us faith is HARD. I don't question the existence of god, for sport. It is the only way I can be authentically myself.
