Seems like both of those questions have immediately graspable answers. Yes, and yes.
Ill go out on a limb, and say that you subbed those questions in for some other question that you will ask as an objection to both of those having such simple and demonstrable answers. TLDR, you buried the lede. As for the above, if you believed -by faith- in those two, and lost your faith..yeah I can see you or anyone drinking yourself to death. Everythings shit, etc etc etc.
That's the trouble with believing true shit -by faith-......after all. If you get something right for the wrong or no reason - and someone (inevitably) points out that this is a wrong or no reason - poof, there goes that true and valuable item along with and only because of our own small mindedness. Next thing you know you're drowning your misery in drugs and feeling that everything is worthless and/or meaningless..apparently.
You can see how a person who doesn't believe that the answer is yes to either by faith isn't susceptible to this sort of existential angst, yes?
