Theists: how do you account for psychopaths?

Not when the alternative is logically impossible and he cannot do the logically impossible.

But atheism isn't a belief in the truth of an unanswered question. People have many unanswered questions, but to believe for a logical reason is one thing and to believe on faith despite no logical reason supporting it is another.

And I never said you stopped thinking about it, either. I said that when you fall back to that "One day we will find out, I guess" attitude you've temporarily stopped thinking about it.

Quote:I think about it on a daily basis actually.

I'm sure you do. But wondering why God allows it is different when you assume he must have a good reason despite all the reasons to the contrary. Do you ever doubt your faith in God, do you ever doubt his existence, do you ever doubt the fact that a being that doesn't need to allow needless suffering allows it anyway speaks to the possibility of his absurdity?

If you ever do doubt God or have a loss of faith do you feel guilty and blasphemous and does that bolster your belief in him... when if you didn't feel that way maybe you'd have more of an open mind to the truth however unready you are for it?
