Sae...I'm so impressed by your openness to doubting and believing, to reacting to faith and knowledge. I find myself rushing for your next response, thank you for defending the right to believe and to doubt your beliefs with such humility and grace, judging no one, taking away from no one, just expressing. I'm going to work on that! Watch over me, correct my approach, please!
