No, you don't know that. You simply believe it without evidence, which is what faith is.
I spend a lot of my time on atheist/religion debate forums. Debating theists is something I take great interest in. There is a time and place for this kind of discussion, and that is not on a fight forum. Religious and political debates almost always get out of hand and tend to fragment the community unnecessarily. I banned those topics on Ax a long time ago (as stated in the forum rules) and it has worked out well enough so far.
Unfortunately, you've tied your faith to your gym, even referring to it as a church. In referring to it as a church, you've made the purpose of it more clear. Stating that it is about faith and not religion is a trick that I certainly won't fall for.
Nobody can discuss your gym without also mentioning the faith that is the basis for the gym. This effectively means your gym can't be discussed on this forum.

I'm leaving this thread up (though replies are closed) so my moderation stance can be viewed. The Fight Church (and the faith attached) is getting some free advertising here, so I'll balance that out with a TED talk from Sam Harris on morality from Science.
