Christians are crazy - a worldly view

I didn't try because I wouldn't trust a worldly person.
and that
I believe God also made you with the ability to accept Him as Lord and Savior.
, while not exactly contradictory, don't go together well.

Your trust in people isn't that great, is it? The Judeo-Christian-Islamic Menschenbild is one thing why I'm not friends with the monotheists. If you always expect the worst from people, eventually it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But then again, our trust issues are somewhat mutual. I'd never assume a believer to be truthful when it comes to religion. They have a vested interest, and they will "lie for Jesus".

I believe I ma not the only one. Jesus said the same thing, that people are not trustworthy.

I believe Christians tell the truth as they see it but there are exceptions. There was a church in Boston, suspected of being a sect that practiced deception.

I believe I have learned not to have expectations. I find Christians more reliable but sometimes undependable. However the two times I have sought counsel the answers were helpful.

Ever moving waves and shifting sand dunes.....That actually sounds amazingly natural and poetic.
I believe once may watch the clouds float through the sky as well or a fire flicker this way and that but being mesmerized doesn't help with rationality.

I believe people with a worldly view have a worldly agenda which causes an anti-Christian bias.

And i believe some christians can be real nasty people. That's from experience so no bias involved.

And in Genesis it is said before. That is the difference between Abrahamics and other people. Some may have bad experiences with humans but for Christians et al., it is dogmatic.

It's more to do with methodology rather than being mesmerized.
