Nothing in particular, I guess. I was just trying to make a broader point about how emotion affects our reasoning skills and hoping the conversation would steer towards the fact that you believe atheism isn't as personally rewarding of a conclusion, so that I could then leverage that to point out that atheism in general is a conclusion reached with less emotion clouding one's judgement.

But you didn't take the bait. Wink
