More insight into religion: logical and emotional beliefs
#22
RE: More insight into religion: logical and emotional beliefs
I kinda just skimmed after the main post so I apologize if I'm not acknowledging something else important you said. I know I haven't been around very long but you have become someone I value opinions, suggestions, and ideas from because they are always well thought out and interesting. I like this theory and thinking about it but me personally I don't know if I can fully get behind it. In my experience when I was young and half way through my teens I 'believed' and didn't question things but my logical side kept pestering me. When I finally let myself question it I found that despite wanting to believe in god my logical side wouldn't allow it. I do get that during my transition I did have both emotional and logical working against each other at the same time which I think is what you are saying can happen but I don't know if it counts in children since they don't know how it always works.... Then again just because I personally couldn't get both emotional and logical on the same page at the same time doesn't mean others can't. Would this work on the same concept as a gay person that hasn't come out yet? He knows deep down that he is but won't admit it even to himself.

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."
