Does your faith meet your intellectual, your social, your emotional, your physical, or your needs of well-being?

Why or why not?
My faith is wonderfully pragmatic like a chapel pew:

What is an expression of faith if it is not at least grappling with notions of intangibility and evidences associated with the corporeal senses? How does one convey the wonderment of a paradox defined as: “to hope for things which are not seen, but which are true”? Perhaps it is most appropriate to exercise such notions in a treatise or work of poetry. Or, is it possible to associate such a wonderful absurdity with an object that is commonplace, functional, yet elegant and strong?
