You’d mar the masterpiece.

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free, I’m following the path God has laid you see.

Faith says the post-modern person, comes in a variety of different wrappings but inside each is the same gift. So everyone should be free to enjoy his or her own expression of the same cosmic truth. God is a god of variety not uniformity so faith need not require that there be a single way to God.
