Wonderful post, dianavan! Faith can't be proven. If it was proven it would be knowledge, not faith. That does not mean that you have to suspend your intellect to have faith. It also means that arguing about faith is bound to fail. Discussing faith can help us all to understand each other better, even if we don't share the same faith.
If you really want to know the Truth, you can only find it by using your heart and your mind.

At least that's how I see it.
