So, do you think God would prefer I stay an atheist, or screw with my brain and become a True Christian? Those appear to be my only two options.
My take is that He's not going to "screw with your brain" or with anybody's brain because that would require taking away your free will and your sense of self.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
