Weird thing is, even though I agree with you 100%, I haven't been out of my belief long enough to laugh off what she says. I have to stop and consider if she's right, even though it seems totally irrational to me. Is my unbelief a delusion I've created to bury my deep seeded desire to be a sinner? Yes, that seems ridiculously irrational to me, because I can honestly say that it's in my best interest to know and believe in what is true, no matter what that is.
