Lol, sorry guys, I'm in a mood this morning.

I kinda just skimmed after the main post so I apologize if I'm not acknowledging something else important you said. I know I haven't been around very long but you have become someone I value opinions, suggestions, and ideas from because they are always well thought out and interesting. I like this theory and thinking about it but me personally I don't know if I can fully get behind it. In my experience when I was young and half way through my teens I 'believed' and didn't question things but my logical side kept pestering me. When I finally let myself question it I found that despite wanting to believe in god my logical side wouldn't allow it. I do get that during my transition I did have both emotional and logical working against each other at the same time which I think is what you are saying can happen but I don't know if it counts in children since they don't know how it always works.... Then again just because I personally couldn't get both emotional and logical on the same page at the same time doesn't mean others can't. Would this work on the same concept as a gay person that hasn't come out yet? He knows deep down that he is but won't admit it even to himself.
