Example of Steve setting the rules for discussion: Either you know that there are doubts about all the tenets of your faith, or else you're pete.

Of course there's doubt, Steve. That's what faith is all about - exploring what is beyond one's understanding.

If one looks on faith as "facts" to be accepted or rejected or to be true or false, then you would be right. But maybe, just maybe, religious faith is not about "facts." Maybe it's beyond the realm of facts. I look on faith as a a context for exploration, a perspective from which a person explores the meaning of what is. To me, faith isn't about answers - it's about exploration of the questions. Meaning, significance, and value are all beyond the realm of facts. They are something to ponder, not something to prove.

If you want facts and true/false and proof, go to those mindless Catholic Answers people. They speak your language, Steve.
