The amount of cognitive dissonance required to believe oneself Christian, yet not believe the things which make a Christian a Christian, is scary.
It's like standing inside the fence next to them big-ass power transformers. All your hair is standing on end, and one false move and there'll be a whole mess of man-made lightning, and a little mess of you.
I can readily picture Grene in a belltower, squeezing off bursts on a semi-automatic rifle at a bunch of shit scared college students.
What about you? Do you claim to be an atheist, a Hindu or a Taoist or a combination of these? You're a fine one to talk about cognitive dissonance. Perhaps, you do see yourself doing all that in a belltower? You're scary. You speak like you've been through it or might very well go through it.
Seeming as Hinduism and Taoism can be atheist religions, there is nothing stopping her being all 3. Christianity, however, has no atheist option.
