Hello Ace.
You explained that well.
I think, too, that like many aspects of life, understanding can only come from prolonged companionship...that is not the word I am looking for...among those who are different from ourselves. Still...the believer assumes that they have the edge over the non-believer, as they take direction from The Higher Authority and we merely from our own brain's reasoning ability. That "fact" will never change, which is why atheists are continually witnessed to.
