And if you study Gone With The Wind will Scarlett O'Hara visit in your hotel room? Reading the same book over and over and deciding that it is real because it says so is nuts.

Min I stated that I study, reading over and over is not studying. To answer your question NO dear Scarlett's only a fictional character. I do not believe I'm nuts since you set the qualification. I believe what the Bible says because God says it's true and I've discovered this in my relationship with Him.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
