I've tried not to notice it. I'm just glad it's a small pic. 

LOL

And speaking of avatar pics.... your pic seems to have gone missing.

It's always good to see why others think the way they do.
I always try to analyse stuff from a psychological perspective. Dunno

Knowing stuff is the cure for ignorance.

Yeah, trying to understand theist psychology is all I can really hope to gain since I'm guaranteed not to see any new arguments or evidence. I find it interesting too.

Although sadly it always just seems to be 90% due to indoctrination and 10% due to emotional thinking, biases, falling for logical fallacies, etc.

For atheism the proportions are 10% indoctrination and 90% due to emotional thinking, bias, and falling for logical falicies, etc. :-P
