Like you said they may even know the right verses of whatever to reference to actually defend.It seems irrelevant to belief, doesn't it? Particularly since the question implies that people can and do believe without that "head knowledge" in the first place.

As with any other thing. People believe in it until they don't. People believe in santa, too...and then they don't. It's ludicrous to doubt the status of their santa belief in the past based upon their lack of santa belief today..or the ease(however that can be determined) with which they lost it. In any case..you'll find that falling out of belief is rarely easy, by any description.
Quote:Eeh, got to get off here but just put this subject out here as far as college level. A psychology professor told her class couldnt talk about a god.I doubt that very much, out of all subjects. It seems more likely, to me, that you are in the possession of and communicating an incomplete narrative. What about this subject, though...leads you to believe that answering "god" on a test would be acceptable? Applications for the god response would seem necessarily limited to a specific subset of questioning.
