Quote:What if you choose to expose yourself to only Christian literature, discuss religion with only Christian people, and avoid trains of thought which head down tracks you don't wish to consider?
Again, inertia + ignorance. In what you mentioned here, this is deliberate, willful ignorance: you are choosing to read the things you already agree with, so as to help convince yourself that the believe you already hold is correct. If you don't give yourself an option, they you cannot, logically, 'choose' anything.
In a very real sense (sorry, folks) a good number of non-believers are just as guilty of this sort of behaviour. How many times have you run across an atheists who proudly proclaims his/her ignorance of the Bible, or of any other scriptures? People like this haven't made the choice to be an atheist, they are prevent themselves for having to make a choice in the first place.
