Well, it does help comfort the mind hearing Pete clearly explain him-
self.  Faith is one thing; facts are another.  I like having facts to
back up my faith.  


I think our definition of faith is different from one another.  Faith is not 
hope.  Faith is not wishful thinking or positive thinking.  Faith is the 
substantiation of things that really are there but cannot be sensed by the natural 
senses alone. Personally, I don't have faith in Pete.  I just believed what he 
said because there was no proof of the accusations to the extent they were 
exaggerated to.


The facts in this whole mess show that Pete was telling the truth.  
Speculation is making up things that "may" have happened based on imaginary fears with 
no evidence to back these fears up.  

I'm glad that Pete did post this though, because it shows that he cares.

In this age of modern science, it seems that everything must be questioned 
before it can be believed.  Of course, this is very meaningless because the 
condition for obtaining truth is not skepticism, but impartiality and the lack of 
prejudice.  Skepticism is a form of prejudice.  Hence, skepticism does not 
lead men to the way of truth.
