Quote:Confirmation bias looks for evidence that fits a forgone conclusion.
How does this definition fail to describe ask seek knock for the Holy Spirit? Because one need know nothing about God the Holy Spirit or Christianity, to receive the same direction and guidance found in the bible.
You have to make two foregone conclusions before a/s/k can work, according to your own words.
1. God exists
2. If you approach him the right way, he will prove his existence to you
If you a/s/k and you don't have at least the faith of a mustard seed, again according to you, you'll get only silence.
The fact that a/s/k can only work if you start out having faith makes it impossible for a/s/k to provide a legitimate means for someone without faith to acquire it. It only works if you've already decided it will. It is a deliberately-designed example of confirmation bias.
