said it all right there. you know, i used to be so deep into christianity it's mind boggling. read the bible cover to cover, was embraced by the pastors at my church, went to retreats frequently, even wanted to be a priest at one point. then an alarm went off in my head when i realized that i had to repeatedly ignore facts and suspend my supreme instinct and "god given" ability called logic in order for me to believe in the things the bible tells me. now that doesn't add up. if something is so powerful as these mortal men who crafted this story claim it is, it would A: all add up, and B: wouldn't contradict since that's not a trait of a fact, and C: would be undenyable.
ignoring facts never sat right with me. but then again, neither did burying my head in the sand.
