I'm fine with your understanding of faith and I'm glad it works for you.   

I don't think Jesus used the same litmus test, but I guess if you think of him as a dead guy, a payment, not a living example  and that there is no continuing Spirit accessible to all,  then you can proudly display your interpretation of religious text as the soul source of truth, wisdom,    You can pick the winners since you set the admission standards, move on to the front pew so to speak.

Thanks for the interesting conversation Always, but I really don't want to continue a protracted theological discussion on this site.
