As a man of science, I would pride myself with challenging the status-quo and the written sacrosanct. I wanted to be open in my thinking and create my own belief system. I was heady with my openness to new ideas, and I privately questioned religious texts and gurus. It is only when she said she said “You have to have faith in something.
