	Very true -- and I think another important point is that perhaps  
those who turn away from faith while in seminary never really had  
faith. If the illusion of faith they had hadn't been crushed by  
seminary, something else probably would have done so. And, I would  
tend to think it better to be without faith than to have an illusion  
of faith that leads to naive comfort.
