Doesn't take much to set ol' Steve off, does it?

But gee, I got Greg going, too.

Greg, maybe to some people belief doesn't necessarily mean accepting an ideology with an absolutely literal understanding. Maybe there are people of faith who understand that their faith is rooted in myth, and yet they still have reason to practice that faith because they see profound value in myth and ritual and tradition and shared values and ideals. Maybe they see their sacred myth as the embodiment of those values and ideals.

Maybe some people of faith fully acknowledge that there are people of their faith tradition who have done terrible things in the name of that faith, just as people have done terrible things in the name of just about everything - including "truth."

Maybe to some people, it isn't all that important to be in possession of the absolute "truth," whatever that is.

Maybe some people just like being who they are, warts and all.
