Yet you belive in God? Then you must claim to have experianced God? Honestly though I think you are wrong, I recon you hold one or two belifes that you have no first hand experiance of.
It is also interesting that you say the words or claims of others hold no merit for you. Can I assume from this then, that every single piece of scientific knowledge you have comes not from what you have been taught but from your self performing experiments? Hold on there though, from what soruce did you gain the knowledge required to be able to perform such experiments? No I'm afriad I'm gonna have to call you out on your claim there my freind. I see no link between belife and hope? Can you explain that one.
