I have a serious question for you. Do you ever feel conflicted when responding to "anti's/critics" in the sense that you feel a need to reference something you think points to proof for your scriptures when on the other hand, you know that faith is an important piece of your spirituality?

That is to say, if you think faith is important...why search for proof?

A great question. I am not searching for proof, but for understanding. Rarely do I ever even I use the word proof for much of anything I research in. But evidence is important to look at. So I look at it. If I think someone has overlooked what I find, I share it with them. That's actually about all I have ever been doing.
