Dear Samiya, I cannot argue two ways: one direction towards JohnKC's (rather firvolous?) position and one direction towards your unshakable belief. However I could write beautiful "verses" *on my own*, with the spirit of the - what you may call - "REAL" ones. Maybe even more beautiful ones (??). Then some people (e.g. agnostics) may say: they MUST be from supernatural sources. I would not disclose my authorship either.
It is not my goal to put 'úncertainty' into your faith, I appreciate faithfulness.
