I think very little is obvious, which is why I don't entertain the obviously wrong in consideration.
Can you think of any moment in your life where your (allegedly) christian heart may have deceived you. Maybe..even...recently? You introduced this idea, I'd like to explore it.
Well you very much seem to treat the non-existence of God as obvious, and His righteousness as beneath contempt as obvious, which is all I meant to address. Am I wrong?
And I can think of many times my heart has deceived me. At one point, even recently, I thought the Lord wanted me to publish a novel so that I could attain an audience to hear about Him, when I was really mostly interested in obtaining objects of my desire, not the least of which was some semblance of control over my life (which is impossible and not what God wants for anyone).
God purged (or is purging) me of these desires through the process of spiritual crucifixion - the fate that awaits us all, in this life or the next.
If you feel that you're being spiritually crucified you may want to speak to a professional...and not one in a funny hat and dress holding out a plate.
