Having faith and having confidence are two different things. And you never addressed the other questions.
Anyway, I have a different question for you. You have already admitted that you cherry pick what to believe and what to dismiss as fairytale, but something you said a while back has come to mind once more. You talked about 'Purgatory'. 'Purgatory' was an invention of the Catholic church based on a very loose interpretation of scripture (I quoted it in the original post where I asked this question, which you never answered). The Catholic church has since reversed it's assertion that there is a 'Purgatory'. My question is why do you believe in it and isn't it blatant cherry picking to take what you like from other Christian sects and say that's what you believe?
