Coming to a mutual agreement and some rambling.

We know for certain that these are fictional characters or at the very least are certain we don't know they exist, while I feel I know God exists.

It was tough on me, to let go the image of Prophets and Imams, that I had of them, when I left my religion.

I also felt delight for such great valiant selfless souls existing, but it turned out it was not true.

But belief in them, I think made me strive for higher level of piety.
