If you don't feel it yourself, why are you qualified to say what I feel is a delusion? What you lack in your life does not disprove what others have. Strange logic indeed.

I wrote this in another thread, and it seems to apply here. There is an abiding assumption among many of us here IMO that logic reigns supreme, and I reject that. I think logic and faith are two very different and equally strong human characteristics. Love itself is a faith that defies all logic, but I assert that love is what most people aspire to obtain and enjoy more than anything else.
I'm Christian, and I don't worry if I'm welcome or not!
I am disappointed when the "Reject All Religious Faith" trump card is played here to disengage from a discussion. I don't ask for others to believe what I believe, but here and elsewhere I ask for respect for the things I honor in my life.
