Why do you keep asserting I became a believer because of "feel good" emotions. It was the REALIZATION from what was to me, a logical viewpoint, the bible was true. The "feel good" came AFTER. It's that simple.
I don't "keep" doing anything. I said it once in direct response to your post saying why you came to believe. Indeed, I posed it as a question for clarification with several analogies for you to see why I was asking. I've quoted it above. You appeared to wax eloquent on how convincing other people's fervor was for you. You underlined it. Their "highly emphasized" faith made you feel faithful.
It must be about how it makes you feel because it certainly contains no objective evidence. And I assumed it made you feel good because you wanted that in your own life, and you adopted it.
Perhaps I'm wrong in understand what you said?
You see their fervor, it makes you feel bleh, and so you join the faith? Is that more accurate, then?
You are confusing.
I used to say lots of things about the bible regretfully... death and violence and God was no different than satan etc. I used some arguments borrowing from others (atheists) repeating rhetoric phrases out of context, knowing believers couldn't respond back. Cutting a long story short. I found out some of arguments were flawed imo and sometimes dishonest. This caused me to look at the bible again and understand it a little more plus listening to others on their research, a whole great variety of things including secular.
I just became a Christian as I said, when it all dawned on me this was all true.
