Personally, this is not part of the equation for me, the 'so darn sure about' part I mean. Frankly, I've needed to embrace the unsure aspect of it, in fact I wonder if certainty is not perhaps the opposite of faith (admitting that this view has been formed over my years! online from many souls more enlightened than myself).
I second that. Personally I find people who are unwilling to admit they might be wrong, even if they believe that they're probably right, a bit frightening. It's like meeting a wall sometimes which isn't the worst thing in the world. But in other cases it's a wall of daggers that threatens destruction to that which does not fit into its worldview.

At least it isn't a glass door... You sometimes don't see them coming... One time... Was holding a party at my house last christmas... My mothers partner.. Had a few to drink... Walked into our conversatory sliding doors three times... In the span of one evening, I could of wet myself... That will be one of the most hilarious moments of my life.. Everytime he went out into the conservatory to smoke we all waited with baited breahs to see his face squash and then rebound off the glass lol... Ugh I am laughing in my office right now.. We are a family of sadistic *******s lol...

OH! And another sick part... I even shine them doors up real clean when we have parties lol.... I am damned lol... But hey, it gets a ton of laughs lol.... At least I haven't set up cameras to film it... yet.

Re: General feed back on "belief and spirituality"

I did something like that once, at a bbq at my uncle's. Everyone was outside and I was inside. Someone outside called my name and I ran straight through the screen door. It didn't leave a hole in the shape of my body like in cartoons, just got pretty bent up and fell down.

I did that at my best friend's birthday party when I was a kid. LOL It is funny in retrospect but at the time I felt horrible that I ruined their screen door. I was only about 9, so I didn't realize screen doors are pretty cheap.
