Sometimes I'm not sure myself...

And as long as someone hasn't concluded that faith is a total waste of time, I don't see how discussion of the struggle to believe can possibly be seen as nonsupportive to religious belief. If someone is struggling to find their faith again, doesn't that show that they respect and value religious belief?Not that this was necessarily correct, but it wasn't clear to me that her goal was to find her faith again, and I thought people who did think their religions were the Truth might not feel supported...
