    It might also depend on how you're defining faith...

    :Ultimately, I would like to have that deep sense of awe while retaining the creature comforts of a sense of humor and the love of a good woman.

    What if the ideal is a frame of mind I personally experienced in the past, when I was truly in love with everything and felt that anything was possible, and I believe this was only possible through complete sobriety and temperance in all things, part of what I would call the "holy path"?

    every move is a gamble to some degree and your beliefs and assumptions may be right and may be completely wrong and you may be chasing phantoms the rest of your life.

    This was by far the happiest time of my life, with the exception of having no one to share it with. The "holy path" would almost certainly alienate those I love, so I hesitate to jump back on. It would be nice to have the best of both worlds.

    you place your bets and you takes your chances.... spin the wheel of life and draw the next tarot card.... its your move.

    Why does this remind me of:

    Yes there are two paths you can go by
    But in the long run
    There's still time to change the road you're on
