> i know you're trying to 'gotcha' me, i'm not. i know that's hard to believe, especially here, but i grew up catholic, drifted away in my twenties, and now i'm old and my health is failing, and my friends and family have failed me. i have almost nothing. it occurs to me this is when most people turn to god. i've read, i've prayed, and i don't understand. it brings no comfort, no security, no hope. i'm looking for genuine answers, and i get more nothing.  > if you were truly interested you'd read the book and ask real questions, and try praying in earnest and lay your pride aside for a moment maybe i'm arrogant, sure. probably. i still don't understand what i'm supposed to take away. it seems like a psychological grift to me, but i'm willing to believe that i'm misinterpreting something.
