Unless I misunderstand you both, both of you seem to feel that faith cannot be compatible with rational thought or logic. I assure you that this is untrue. A faith based on reason and logic can be deep and meaningful. There are many different levels of faith, and many different roads to a relationship with God or a higher power, or whatever your reason, tradition, and faith leads you to believe in.
