Yes your just taking personal experience and defining it as faith, my question is why do you need to call it faith, why not just personal experience?
Then we are just arguing semantics.
I've said all along that it is my entire life experiences that lead me to believe as I do.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
