I've got no issue with faith. I understand and believe in the concept. How many here have read Augustine's writings on the subject? What I object to is stuff like representing that a picture of Abraham on a gurny exists in Facsimile No. 1, and of "Kolob" exists in Facsimile No. 2. That's objectionable on many grounds, not the least of which that we owe more than that to the ancient Egyptians.
