I have often said that the loss of my faith felt like burning down my childhood home. It was falling to pieces around me, crawling with all sorts of poisonous things, and dripping with black mold, but hey, it was home for a long time. But then you look at the empty space and get to build something healthy in its place.
Funny.. Christ too draws a parallel between faith and a home.
However He said a foolish man's faith will be washed away by the trials of life, (which will allow him to build on His truth.)
