Reza Aslan's three questions about faith

Posting this here for reference ... it's Reza Aslan's three questions on faith ("faith is a choice, but it's not an irrational choice") from Oprah's Super Soul Sunday.

1. Do you believe that there is something beyond the material realm?
2. If yes, do you want to experience that thing? To commune, to feel it?
3. If yes, how? Through religion, through relationships, through nature or awe? The how is a personal choice.

So for Aslan, it's "all about deciding whether you want to or not. It's not about needing proof."

This is one of the things that has propelled me on this journey (along with Pope Francis). As a liberal elite intellectual who was raised Catholic but been lapsed for 40-some years, the answer to both #1 and #2 is yes.

But #3 is proving to be a bit more difficult to answer, save for the belief that the answer includes Jesus.
