What is it that you find in faith to entail some risk, Michael? I'd be curious to hear more about this because from my perspective, as an atheist who was once a Christian, I find my current position far more risky than I would were I able to somehow throw myself back onto faith... but I imagine, as we probably both believe we're following our conscience, being honest with the evidence that we have been provided in our individual life experiences, we're also willing to embrace that risk with an air of confidence. No matter what happens at the end of this life, our sincerity ought to count for something, aye?
