Proto: I don't really have strong faith in the normal sense of the term. I arrived at my beliefs by a process of observation and reason, and so my "faith" simply depends on what makes rational sense to me. It follows that my beliefs require a certain lifestyle which I generally strive to follow. I realize that my life would be a lot easier (and shorter) if I were to not believe in God, but I have never seen a convincing argument to those ends. The only way I could abandon my beliefs and lifestyle would be to convincingly contradict my observations, otherwise to live as an atheist would go against my own rationality.

I believe because belief makes sense, not because I have faith.
