Sure nothing "logical" tells us that. Unless of course you see the word of God as logical. Personally I do.

I'm fairly educated myself, and I think I have a good understanding of what happens to people like us.

The more "educated" one becomes, the harder it is for them to have faith in Christ. It's a form of self-worship that I'm guilty of myself.

Thank God for his mercy and grace, seriously. Just repent

It is fricking bizarre and unnerving as not real good scientific explanation for it other than geologic activity is somehow doing it

That's how religion keeps the masses under its mighty thumb. They make you feel bad about logic. So they can stay relevant. A form of self worship? What ever happened to accomplishment.

If we truly had the answers from God, there would be no need for religion. There wouldn't be any labels at all.

Your last response is a good example of my original post.

Very true. We see the same thing with every demographic category that's "superior" according to secular society--the rich, men, and whites are all more likely to be atheist.

The Bible is also full of examples of self-worship. Saul making the sacrifice without waiting for Samuel, David sending Uriah on a suicide mission, Solomon turning away from God to serve idols, Jeroboam setting up his own holy places in hopes of cementing his earthly power, Uzziah going into the temple and trying to usurp priestly functions...and all of those kings lived in the age of prophecy and should have known better.

No.

Usually the more "educated" one becomes, the more they are open let go of fairy tale stories and realize life is very much worth living and its very freeing to rid yourself living your life by a child's bed time story. There is not a single logical reason for believing in this God/Spirit Mumbo jumbo, this "personal relationship with your savior" or whatever nonsense people are calling it these days to try to make it sound more appealing than the hundreds of other religions around the world.

I can understand how easy it is in the south to get caught up in the Christianity fling, though. It's ingrained into the culture.
