I didn't say it specifically, but what I was eluding to in my question was that;
The very strict amount of people who without any "well they didn't really stop", or any work arounds that will;
- Believe in God, and are a part of a religion,
- Stop believing in god after doing research, and etc, knowing the lack of evidence
- and then start believing again, actually believing, not just pretending, and not because they were forced, or because they "hated god" or some weird thing like that.
The people who, to sum it up, can go from somewhat irrational to completely rational and then to completely irrational.
I know that people can be coaxed back in, or may just lie and say they believe when they don't, I understand that.
What i'm saying is that it completely boggles my mind to think about how a person can become rational, from irrational, and then turn irrational again about a question as prevalent and important in their life like that.
How someone can lose faith, see all the arguments against it in the world and think "Yeah that's pretty dumb", or "Wow how could I legitimately believe that" and then suddenly start believing again.
There are thousands of gods. Which one do you consider to be the real one?
