BTW -- I'd rather go with faith than with proof.
I hate it when someone asks me "tell me the reasons you like me" or something like that. I don't like to disassemble people. Even if you could do that and have evidence ready to prove each piece was true, I'm a firm believer in the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Again, you might have some "proof" of that as well and when you take all the small bits and put them on one side of some sort of karmic balance then put the proof of the whole on the other side, you might see that single bit out-karma all the little bits.
But there is no logic that explains how 2 + 2 can be greater than 10. (stick to a base 10 system please). Only faith can bridge that gap.
