personal experiences do indeed play a very big role in our perception of faith of a Creator as Dwayne stated so well.

I feel fortunate to have heard some of Dwayne's basis for his personal faith


my life experiences and perceptions leads me to feel strongly there's a higher power

but I've no qualms about those that don't feel the same way.


I know good men that have no faith in a higher power.

and I'm aware of men that are borderline evil (if in fact not crossing the line) that use the faith of others in a higher power and faith in themselves as a predatory opportunity

There's no way for any of us to convince one another which is correct.

Often wonder why those at both extremes expend so much energy doing so.



I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
