My point is that many people have faith and it helps them, and helps them help others, and that's great. But to claim to be able to show someone the "truth" is nigh on blasphemy. The nature of man is that he can only discover the truth for himself, therefore dogmatic teaching of religion leads to badly supported/misconceived beliefs since the individual has not reached an understanding by himself. I think you should keep in mind that people may need to travel their own path to find the truth that is truly meaningful to them.
