   Love - where is the evidence that this exists   
   desire - where is the evidence that this exists   
   Understanding - where is the evidence that this exists   
   Happiness - where is the evidence that this exists   
      
   They like faith are unique in that they can exist without evidence.   
   That is the power of love.  Faith is a state of being and if one feels   
   the need to question anothers soulful ambience than that is where the   
   seed to our faithless society begins.  We question too much without   
   finding out the true answers.  Faith is love.  Love is God.
