Thank you for your honest answers.
Any time. If you have any more questions, I welcome them.
If you're interested, I can also give my personal thoughts on the ones you already asked.
I hope you are doing okay with number 4 then, and don't personally have contradicting beliefs. No one wants to live a life of confusion because they don't know what they believe. I've seen it happen. Mostly souls who thought they'd lost or remolded a belief, but then when something stressful comes along, they morphed back to the original, and it was kind of like "Oh, oh, where am I?"
I've seen it too, and it's sad. No worries, though.
One example is the marriage vow. A person gets to thinking they are invincible in their faith to one other person for life. Then this other person comes along to test that, and it's "Well, maybe adultery isn't such a grave misdeed after all."
Indeed.
I'm a hardliner on adultery. If you're not cut out for monogamy, don't promise to be monogamous.
I had a relative who was all for cremation, until he was about to die, and changed his mind and spoke it verbally to a couple of people, even though he had a living will for cremation. His confusion put the family through unnecessary debate and more grief, even though it wasn't intended at all.
That strikes me an odd thing to change your mind on. May I ask why he did?
We do not fear the night, who have loved the stars so fondly.
