I like this....it says quite a bit.
If this is meant to express the attitudes of most Christians however, I would unfortunately have to take issue. Then again, these statements of faith would be missing from most people...not just a Christian.
My underlying issue with the proclamation of Faith by the God fearing sect, is the superiority many project because of it. Personally, I really don't care if one feels above another due to some perception of reality they decide to follow, but please don't attempt to refute my understanding of this world with information that has little Data to back it up. We all have a slightly different take on what is real, and what is fabricated. We all see the world with personal perception, and experience individual to ourselves. This is what makes for reality.
The above statement of Faith could be as easily used to express the attitudes of anyone who has attained some level of spiritual understanding, and is not a "Christian" thing.
Faith is a Human condition, Not a religious state of mind.
