Oh I love these discussions and I can't get into it right now as I have to get to school...
However, Rory I do see Faith as a virtue. To hold Faith is a precious thing (IMO).
Just to feel as you put it - to feel is everything to me! If I cannot feel something I am nothing (to me)...
So, it's a very different way of looking at the world. I had this very worldly boyfriend once who was a professor of law. He used to say that he couldn't believe in anything he couldn't touch. Whilst I understand what he said - to me there is much that we cannot touch but can only feel... I can't touch the love I have for my children but it is real... I have Faith when I am angry or disappointed or sad with them that I love them. That belief in my love gets me through...
Do you see where I am coming from? (I know it's jumbled as I am literally walking out of the door!)
I see Faith as that too. Though I think my Faith is quite tangible also!
