make you feel? It is interesting that you should ask. This treatise covers those who adopt atheism from an emotional standpoint instead of an intellectual standpoint. In such case the "conversion" would only be as permanant as the emotional ties to the issue. Most adolecents and young adults make a great effort to break away from their families only to return once they are fully mature and established. It's a natural weaning process. Any religion or lack of religon tied to the weaning process would naturally be re-examined once the person returns to family ties. TP

This is how it makes me feel. "The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy which can engage the attention of a child of God is the name, the nature, the person, the doings, and the existence of the great God. There is something exceedingly improving to the mind in a contemplation of the divinity. It is a subject so vast, that all our tools are lost in its immensity; so deep, that our pride is drowned in its infinity. Other subjects we can comprehend and grapple with; in them we feel a kind of self-contentment, and go on our way with the thought, "Behold, I am wise." But when we come to this master science, finding that our plumb line cannot sound its depth, and that our eagle eye cannot see its height, we turn away with the thought, "I am but of yesterday and know nothing." C.H. Spurgeon Greg
