Eloquently written I like how you bring to attention questioning and wrestling with one’s faith and belief. Understandably perspectives and perceptions change with personal experience. I too constantly wrestle and look for evidence to define what I believe. I take refuge in thinking I am part of and there is something more powerful bigger than myself. What that is and what you call it, I am not sure but I know it is healthy for me at least to always remain open accepting of beliefs.

That said as you have perfectly highlighted irrespective of our faith, our beliefs our religion. Fundamentally we are all human so automatically kindness and compassion should define how we live. — Well said.
