What leads you to that conclusion?
I would say that the roots of such thinking lies in my religious upbringing. I think that was the seed, the rest was built on some personal experience and my own conclusions regarding it.
My upbringing was mainly secular, and I think that's why I have concluded the opposite. I have considered the alternatives and tried to believe (it seems like a comforting way to be), but it just isn't there inside of me.
I think people either feel a sense of God (or gods) or they don't, I don't think it's something that can be changed, what do you think? Feel free not to answer if it's too personal.
Dear @scalextrix (who are helping me so much to meet my goal), as first sorry for waiting a whole hour for my answer, but it was dinner time, and I had to run away from my PC for awhile. π
Now, back to answering...
I would completely agree with you on the following
I just wouldn't agree that it's something that can't be changed (both ways). You may find such examples in history, but for me are far more interesting those ones I witnessed (this way or another) personally.
Of course, way more pleasant to see were those when a person would switch (no matter if through some extended time or at once) from some complete denial (of God, gods, higher power or energy - what ever someone might call it) to awareness and acceptance than vice versa.
Although, I think those vice versa cases might be shown to us to learn something from it, maybe even more than from those previous ones.
At least that's how I feel about it.
