JB, in matters of faith, there is no ranking of importance. As a teenager, I had my questions and spent time trying to answer them.
Many people lose faith bbecause we want to understand "why", and it's hard to accept the fact that we cannot put the answers into a nice little package. Many people then want to do it for us, and it never feels complete.
Sometimes we are faced with genuine awe, like when I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time, or when I first held my first born son. I wanted to understand how what I was seeing was possible. I knew I would never fully understand, and I was completely okay with it. That was faith kicking in!
Enough high-minded stuff. Time to go home and kick my dog! Oops, that's not my line.
Good night to all!
