"Ridiculous because of the very fact that when one chooses to deny something it means that they have indeed seen it, analyzed it and made a choice to deny it."
it is asserted that people understand what they deny. This is just naive ignorance.
What is naive is to believe that anyone who rejects Christianity just doesn't seem to understand it. I'm sick and tired of Christians saying that if people truly understood Christianity, they wouldn't reject it. The fact is that this is just another delusion that Christians live under. People do understand and reject your religion. Get over it.

I don't know why you are comparing denying life to denying your religion. The fact is, that you are completely convinced that anyone outside of your religion is spiritually retarded and must not understand the value of life. BULLSHIT! Christianity does not have a monopoly on self-awareness and I would even go as far to claim that it impedes it. When one confines understanding their life to one view, from one book, they are denying themselves the opportunity to understand life on their own and on their own terms. You seem to think that without your book the world would be spiritually lost, but the fact is that your book is not needed to be moral or value life. Your religion has blinded you to the truth about human morality which is that people do not need an ancient collection of fictional stories to do the right thing in life.
If you truly believe that murder is a logical result of denying Christianity, then you are either stupid or your religion is rotting your brain.
