Summary: There have been many theists turned atheists who have confessed that they never believed, but it was a profession. Daniel Dennett and Linda LaScola conducted a study about preachers who don’t believe. I am sure many of us have questioned the validity of some believers testimony. Are skeptical believers a silent majority? Should skeptical believers discuss their confusion or disbelief? Do self-professed believers really know deep down that it’s all a ruse? The behaviors of many believers show that they are only giving lip service. Is this being done subconsciously? Are they truly emulating the bi-polar/schizophrenic behavior of many of the mythological characters of the Bible? Is the confusion experienced by many believers a matter of cognitive dissonance? Is God angry or loving? Should they just pray or should they actually help people in need? The Bible tells me it’s a sin, but my flesh tells me otherwise. (sexual, sexuality, addiction, lying, etc.).
