Thanks for sharing. There's a time and place for belief based on subjective experience. That's nearly all the time, but many don't accept that :)

The idea that people shouldn't take you at your own word in order to accept your belief is interesting, though. The religion was pretty much word of mouth for most of its spread. Why not from you?

This is most definitely not snarky. You piqued my interest and I try to work out my doctrine with fear and trembling ;)
