atheism and children

[Alex K]

I said, going by your post record as the only source. And there's a difference between asking oneself why, reflecting on a matter, and taking an explanation at face value. There's a very big difference.

I just don't understand how you can deduce, from the 2 months I've been here, that I have never in my life asked myself why and reflected on these matters. Not sure what you mean by taking an explanation at face value, though.

I agree with abaris, and I would like to add an observation of my own to explain. I think the impression abaris relates here is created by the fact that once challenged to discuss your justification for certain views, you would often state a stance of the church as a reason and then refuse to discuss their validity any further. This has happened on several occasions and creates the impression that you feel compelled to accept the teachings of the church, and that your own reflections on them, while you might entertain them, can never have the power to sway your opinion away from church doctrine. Why else would it ever suffice you to state church opinion as the main justification for many of your views?
