"Any way that I try to look at theism, I don't get it... the only way I could subscribe to the belief and acquire "faith" is to simply stop using my mind. This is what needs to happen to a certain extent in order to be a true believer, and it's very dangerous."
That is incorrect my friend. You might not come to the same conclusions as I do about God. I am no genius, but anyone who would say I have ceased to used my mind, that I no longer think rationally or critically, is deaf, dumb and blind. I think critically about everything that seems important to me. I think long and hard, and I am always looking to educate myself and expand my mind. I have a voracious appetite for knowledge of all sorts that was in no way dimmed when I became a believer.
