Well, I suppose, Michael - but if you have faith, and it means something you, why abandon it? My faith is part of who I am. Yes, much of the basis of that faith may be myth, but myth can often lead to deep truth.

Kinda like believing in art or poetry or the beauty of life and love and nature, ya know? - except that I believe in a Being who is the incarnation of all that is good. And in 61 years of life, that belief has never once led me to do something contrary to what is good. I do wrong lots of times, but not as part of my belief.

Yes, there are lots of people who seem to use their beliefs as justification for wrongdoing. But it doesn't work that way for me. My faith is a source of joy and goodness, and a call to do justice.
