You missed the question and are assuming too much. I didn't leave Islam because I didn't confirm to Muslim ideology, I was actually extremely religious before. I believed in Islam. I found errors in the Quran while being religious and then found more and more errors, but I had hope or even belief that they would be solved. But the more I thought about the issue and the more I engaged with Muslims about them, the more I realized there was no solution to most of these problems.
I'm wondering what keeps Muslims from seeing these problems all these years when many of them learn logic, and what kept me from seeing these problems the first 40 times I read the Quran.
There is something at work here, some psychological force, that blinds us to see.
This bugs me a lot, I just don't know what it is. There is confirmation bias, but that makes you look at the facts in your favor....should it blind you from clear contradictions and logical errors?
