 And that's part of the revelatory and confessional character of the book that I'm writing here. I realize in retrospect that I walked away from the Church in part because I didn't want to obey the teachings of the Church. And I've had to live with that as well. Where I am right now, you could call me an agnostic. I think faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. I know that man doesn't live by bread alone. We do not. There is a spiritual realm. I have great respect for people who are trying to grapple with it.
