This will probably sound like nonsense to you, but to me its not about understanding a purpose behind it all, its about feeling.

Reporter: "Mother Theresa, when you pray what do you say to God?"
Mother Theresa: "I do not say anything, I listen" Reporter: "Well as you listen to God, what does he say to you?"
Mother Theresa: "He doesn't say anything, He listens"

Contemporary logic does not apply to feeling, so it can never explain faith.
