No argument makes sense until you are conditioned to believe it.
If a secularist reads every holy text (Bible, Koran, Upanishads, etc.) and is convinced by one, this is not a valid decision. Because Christian reasoning works only if you already believe as a Christian. (Kierkegaard)
Belief primes us to use rationality, which makes us reason toward irrationality.
