Anecdotal evidence:

I've seen it happen.

Logical deduction from facts in evidence:

Actual honest study of the Bible's content and origins contributes to either the 1.acceptance, 2. rejection or skepticism of its propositions i.e., atheism, the lack of belief in a god of gods.

1. One cannot technically believe or disbelieve if you haven't heard or conceived of the notion.

2. Of all humans alive today, who have studied the Bible, thus having read or heard the Bible, there are more who are becoming atheists, than there are becoming "true, bible believing" Christians.

This was asserted and argued in a thread last week. "Many are called but few are chosen." "Narrow is the gate and strait the path to salvation, but wide is the gate and broad the path to destruction.... " "Many people call themselves Christians, but really aren't...."I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."

Like the old joke, a man told his wife, " I'm pretty sure me and you are the only true Christians around, and sometimes I ain't so sure about you!"

I didn't run anywhere, I'm not on here 24/7 like so many here, and why would I want to? It's full of negative nasty people. I'm not going to use up my time that way, which is why I said what I did to Blade.

Mueller, Comey, McCabe and so many others are good dedicated patriots, a hundred times more then
Trump, besides its pointless for me to bother with, you want to believe what you want, so be it. The difference between you, blade and myself, is that I don't have to personally offend you, which does not include me reacting to your insults. As a matter of fact, I've recently decided that when someone insults me personally I won't respond at all, if I can help it, I'm sick to death of the juvenile behavior.
