Renoir:

No need for two messages. You are correct about Faith. It's either, or. In my case I am more rational and try to understand the world around me. With apologies to Descartes, I don't say "I think, therefore I am" but "I am, therefore I think".

A little skepticism in life is healthy. Else we would all be buying the Brooklyn bridge.
