Asking why Paul has no faith makes as much sense

Hi,
Well, let's go deeper, then. <g> (and I do not mean that in a patronizing
way--please know. Okay, I've talked and scolded myself for coming across that
way!)
Maybe we need to find a more appropriate question (since the ones being
asked are nonsensical--though I am not sure that they are--but we'll go with
it
for now or else I might be patronizing...<sigh>)
So, here it is, Paul:
Why does it matter whether or not you have no faith or whether or not you
might, eventually, have faith?
Will life really change all that much for you if you do have faith, I wonder?
Has Brian's life changed all that much since he has faith? Would it change,
do you think, if he did not have faith? (would ask him myself but he
thinks of me as patronizing and, well, you know how I am when I've been
criticized. Though I suppose even being patronizing might be a positive thing
in a
particular context. Not sure which one, but I'm sure if I really worked at
it,
I could think of one...<g>)
And, even if Phil thinks, like so many I know <wry look> that seeking to
find answers for questions is simply nonsense, well--I will always walk along
with someone who is searching. I might not be searching for the same things,
but I'll keep you company inasmuch as I can...and I know we are not alone. We
are, after all, on a List. And, life is, after all, about matches.
Faithfully,
Marlena in Missouri
