Quote:Basically, the answer to your question is that the atheist thinks and reasons, no longer running on the reptilian portion of the brain for the best thoughts
The problem with this thinking is the assumption that all believers started out as christians from their birth and do not examine the evidence, do not question their beliefs, do not ask why, etc.
While some grow up in christian homes, there are others who did not and have used their brains to examine the evidence, question then used their reason and logic to come to the truth. They then repent and become believers in Jesus.
In the church, many teen-agers do this as well, some leave the church others do not. The above thinking implies that the atheist has a monopoly on reasoning, thinking and logic when that is far from the truth.
it takes a lot fo thinking, reasoning an dlogic to decide to follow Christ as one knows they will be persecuted for their decision---some even killed.

1.You're assuming you comprehended what I wrote correctly. I did not say anything about personality did I? There is more than one way to be the same--think about it.
2. You are batting 0 for 2. You do not know anything about me nor can you say what I do or don't understand. Your false charge of bias really applies to you and all atheists as your bias towards the Bible is astoundingly strong. So you are in no place to say what I can or can't do or what influences me.
3. No, I would be more comfortable in heaven.
