You misunderstand me. I was not being sarcastic and I don't understand why you thought so (and also am very surprised at your reaction). I was trying to state some inconsistencies, nothing more.
I assure you that my feelings and emotions are as deep as anyone else's and they haven't gone anyplace. It might be better to state that emotions and logic seem to occupy different areas of the brain and are not easy (or even possible) to reconcile. Without going into detail, I have had experience dealing with profound, clinical depression that I knew was illogical but that illogicality made no difference to the emotional state; you can't argue with emotions. So, it's no surprise that faith and logic are not necessarily compatible.
