"However, Phill’s suggestion that if I believe in faith, and that faith is not a psychological disorder … therefore, I must believe that faith as a reality is true.

This would indicate that I have no proof to the contrary.
Well this only begs the question….Does Phill?”

No. So what? Not my call, lack of proof for a contradictory claim means nothing remember?
I've had experiences I can't explain, but I don't tell people they have to believe it because I do. They would expect me to prove I wasn't just tripping or something and I wouldn't blame them at all.

Plus although you may make no distinction between faith per se and fanatical refusal to believe anything else, I do.

"I am sorry that I can only amuse you"

I'm even more sorry you missed the point, believe me :-)
