I just followed a link to this commentary and would love to hear from a few real people . . .
How the Internet Ruined Dating: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/how-internet-ruined-dating.html

hmmm, provocation supercedes genuine interest.
In the human experience there are unanswered questions in every endeavor. We're simply not smart enough to know everything. But that's ok.
Choice of belief systems is, in the end, a personal matter.
Regretting the attacks you've suffered for your choice, I hope it's in your path to find peace with your 'God'.

Faith in a given 'religon' generally cannot be explained rationally, scientifically, or with final proven conclusions. Most are centered on an omnipotent being or force whose knowledge, methods and power are far beyond the understanding of the faithful.

There are numerous questions that simply can no more be answered by the faithful about their god and his/her ways than an amoeba can expound on the works of Shakespeare. When one decides to investigate and select a belief many questions are put to those who went before them. However at some point a decision is made as to whether to continue 'on faith' acceptin that which could be understood and leaving the rest in the hands of faith.

Is it rational? Put to the test -probably not. Delusional? Maybe, but it works to provide a missing ingredient for many, giving them (us) a peace that life is not a random, chaotic string of events. Rather that, even if we don't understand it all, and would often -in our limited view- do some things different, there is a greater power at work. A power that we trust has a greater good in mind.

No, the faithful cannot answer all the questions. But in that inability too, there is peace. After all, if we could understand it all, we'd be on the same level as our god. Inversely, that would place him on our level!!!! Perish the thought!!!!
