Sometimes, we create a long list of excuses for the things we doubt but cherish greatly (for whatever reason). Are you certain that you're trying to investigate this god claiming business, as opposed to simply stalling in the face of doubt?
I'd like to imagine that I'm trying to investigate it rather than stalling. I've only been a non-Christian for 3 weeks. I'd hardly think that's long enough for somebody to completely come out of a worldview they've been in and defended for their whole life. Could we continue this in my deconversion thread if you like? Half of my threads I've created have gone completely off topic today.
Thanks.
