No and I said as much in my post that obviously someone shouldn't believe in something simply for the sake of it sounding nice. Nobody is arguing that.

I get it. I really do. I have a college buddy who is pretty much the same way. He needs the scientific proof right in front of him to believe in it. I suppose that's why it's called faith so what can you do.
