Sort of, though not in the way you mean. Let me try and elaborate - I belive in God because I like the idea of someone having all the answers to all my questions. While that can be defined as having faith that my fellow humans wouldn't be able to help me out with that one, it could also be called a lack of faith in humankind. Personally, I think that is just realism. The other reason I went back to [sort of] believing was because I felt like a hypocrite saying 'Heavens', 'God bless you' and other such stuff when I refused to believe in God. To go back to the original question, about whether I have faith or not, I think I do. But it is neither a faith in God [that She is perfect and has a good, or a halfway decent, plan - She might but she really hasn't told me anything about it], nor in humanity as a whole. I put my faith in ideas, and in certain people. That is about it. Ritu _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
