Believe what you want about me.I have always found it odd that people like ding are so embarrassed of their faith, that they embarrass themselves with lengthy dog and pony shows to try to convince themselves it isn't actually faith. How frustrating that must be for them. It must ne like being an addict and being ashamed of your addiction, but you can't stop it. So you try to rationalize it into something else.
"Just a little pick me up"

"I am not an alcoholic, because i don't drink before noon"

"There is evidence for magical sky daddies. I believe because of evidence!"
All the same thing....
