In reply to an intellectual friend

We can't speak of the general when it comes to faith or belief,
we are in our own land- we stand alone, regardless of what others think or say. Kindly explore and this might change your mind.
Millions upon millions, and with Taoism, it's hundreds of millions, who  have found truth, meaning, peace, joy, beauty, hope, acceptance, consolation and courage, even in their conquering of death and despair.

If you haven't tried or experienced, of that you can't speak.

Kind wishes

yours humbly

Peter
