It is easy to sear the heart. You start by denying your faults. Then, you seek justification for your being, accept any explanations, and try earnestly to persuade yourself that God doesn't exist. Or, does He?

Your cynicism is noted...

[CarrotAndStick]

More than that, you just reveal how weak your beliefs are, that you swallow illogic hook, line and sinker, to avoid having to test your own faith. When you come to a point where you are forced to do it, I hope you survive the accrued agony that’ll pour hard on you, when your beliefs shatter.
