And faith is understanding that.
What makes me believe is reasoning. I cannot believe against my understanding.
Can't you see where your reasoning about your belief in your understanding of the untangible faith factor, is built on sand? Who says faith can't be built on proof (direct or indirect?)

Oh okay there's two questions, looking back.
I'm not neutral. How can it be if I love everyone?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
