Seriously? Respectfully raising a legitimate part of my past that I struggle with is a "critical spirit"? Wow. Is there no room for dialogue that constructively creates opportunities for honest conversation? Do you think there were any of the 17,000 kids that struggle with the same questions? In reality, I'm creating an opportunity for you to explain such struggles to those who have the same questions I did. If you arm them with answers that I never received, maybe they won't leave like I did. Maybe I'm presenting you with an opportunity for you to retain hundreds of them that will inevitably leave when their lifetime of doubts aren't resolved.
Of course, there's always the, "Do it because I said so", but that doesn't seem to work so well.
