Just then, my dad moved to this country where I am now, so it was all for the better. In other words, I served the church in the choir until I was rendered "unfit". And I continued to serve as an altar boy. Right now, in this new country, I'll be starting altar duties soon. I'm probably the most pious Christian boy on the planet.
But I have to be honest. That's the only thing that differentiates me from some other Christians. There is absolutely no evidence or rational justification for God or faith. Many Christians hate to admit this but it's true. I honestly believe all Christians KNOW this is true but they just don't dare to admit it to themselves. And they don't dare to debate on it either. They know they haven't got a leg to stand on.
You have faith in things unknown without turning it into dead certainty in all the biblical and canonical dogma. Seems like a very pure form of faith to me. You are sufficiently agnostic to earn my respect. The theism question is of less consequence to me.
