Well said Ralph. To the Helekars and the Saldanhas of this world, faithlessness either becomes a badge of learning (Helekar) or a badge of social statement (Saldanha).
But to us ordinary folks, even those without the compulsion of fear of the unknown or the fear of deprivation, physical or mental affliction, faith is just something we have acquired, live with, attempt to understand and choose to believe. To us no proof is necessary except that with which we are favored and blessed in our personal lives whether deserved or not.
