Which is very ironic given this is what Christians are accused of doing all the time.. Just FYI this is a human condition and not limited to Christianity.
I do my best to be sincere and open-minded to all considerations, actively seeking opposing points of view and disavowing dogmas when I am able (if empiricism is a dogma, it seems the very definition of sensible enough), and as a result I see no reasonable path of reconciliation to this idea of faith that Christianity relishes.
