A sword in a field.

You think I'm an atheist, pretending to be a theist with doubts who is admitting to having those doubts in order to make people identify with the person I'm only pretending to be?

Of course, I don't really know what you are. Maybe you are a theist, or maybe not. I don't have the ability to read your mind nor look into your heart.

However, based on your posts in this forum, I get a suspicion that you are not a Christian as you claim to be because you've been constantly pointing out faults with Christianity and the Bible (such as when you compared religion as a "mind slavery" in one of your threads) and you're even telling us how biased you are about your religious beliefs, and yet you say that you find a great amount of bliss and personal satisfaction in Christianity simply because it "works" for you, which is the same religion that you are constantly telling us about how messed up it is ...

Also, as I said before, if you know and admit that your religious beliefs are confirmation biases, then I don't think that you really believe what you only claim to believe. It's as if you are admitting to everyone that you are intellectually dishonest (by saying that your beliefs are actually confirmation biases). Do you agree that you are intellectually dishonest? If your answer to that is no, then you should also agree that you having confirmation bias is not intellectually dishonest either.

I mean, you sound to me as if you just came to this forum and started telling everyone "Hey guys, I'm a Christian because it just works for me! Oh, but guess what? I also have a lot of confirmation biases when it comes to my religion haha, and I'm very inconsistent also, and I don't want to fix any of this problem either because ... well ... well ... I just like being biased and dishonest with myself! And I don't even really care much, lol ... whatever."

^ That was a very crudely put summary, I know, but that is more or less the gist of the message that you've been getting across here in regards to your religious beliefs - and it sounds strangely and comically ironic to me - even almost as if you're a poe (and a very successful one at that, too, if you are). I'm not saying that you are a poe, but I'm just wondering.

Just my thoughts, though. Don't take it too heavily.
