RE: Not "Required"

Thank you. You make sense, but who knows? I would not want to know my destiny and I would prefer that no one else did.
I think you are right about it being a matter of faith - belief without proof. You either have it or you don't. I think it is harder if you are well educated. If you don't I suspect that you can't get it by praying or studying because for that to be effective you already have to believe. Even the very knowledgeable and most devout can still lack faith.
I doubt that you can teach faith either.
It is hard to draw a clear line between the faithful and the gullible. If that sounds offensive to a Christian, then think in terms of other religions.
It's nice to have a friendly neighbour who can talk metaphysics over the fence.
