(compared to Quetzal's judgement person)
I have a deep and powerful feeling toward all life
Though I search in the dust and the stars stay still,
They do not answer my prayers, though the dust has
been here forever I find a warm feeling toward a fellow
creature more fulfilling than the coldness of the dust and rock.
I seek to judge no one, and find respect for people for and against my faith as there is great meaning to everyones plight, in this quest called life.

Does this statement of faith attack another faith ?

This isn't so much a statement of your faith as it is a statement about your faith.
For instance at no point do you say what you have faith in.

I have faith in God
I feel he is the author, the creator
of these good things, I believe Jesus is the Son of God
I believe in Yahweh and the power of his Holy Spirit
I believe if we listen we can hear it
The stars and the rocks seem forever
But the Love of God is forever
The sands own no feeling
and the rocks remain cold
you can't prove a feeling
but to faith you can hold

AMEN! Hey that's pretty good.

I could use yours for my own statement of faith. I'll just leave out the third line, cut the second half of the fourth line and change Yahweh to God.
