Not everyone rejects Christianity solely on the basis of intellectual doubts. Some people reject it simply because they don’t want it to be true, so they purposefully talk themselves out of believing it.

About This Quote

When someone does not believe in Christianity, it is not only because of the intellectual doubts. There are some people who do not want to believe in Christianity because of the social pressures of their family and society. They know that they will be rejected by people who do not believe in it. Therefore, they deliberately talk themselves out of believing it.
