39. Hmm..

"....they did not come to on their own or never truly believed."

And, there are many who did truly believe, but through painful self-evaluation, saw the folly in said belief.

" It takes earnest effort and humility to grasp."

So, we atheists simply lack the desire to learn the truth which you seem to be the keeper of? That's a rather obnoxious assumption.

" No one will grasp it who isn't willing to wrestle with it...with an open mind, and an open heart."

Like the open mind most theists have? The ones who will maintain their faith in the face of incontrovertible evidence that it is based on misinformation?
