to a question it's because the non-believer can't comprehend it? Ever stop to think that many of us were believers who DID get it and that's why we're now non-believvers? Or does it make you feel better or superior to think you have some sort of glorifed insight reserved only for those with blind faith?

If you're a non-believer because you all of a sudden "got it," you never were a true believer in the first place. I feel blessed to have insight as a believer that you don't have. Trying to explain that to you is pointless, because it is of spiritual knowledge, which you can't have as a non-believer.

Well, what if the believer gave a reasonable explaination and the non-believer could not comprehend? But, I think I understand where you are coming from. You ask a question and they, with feeble knowledge or the inability to fully answer your question, say it is your fault and not theirs. Some times they are right and some times they are wrong. Do not forget scripture does back them up in some cases.
Matthew 7:6
"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
2 Corinthians 4:4
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
Matthew 5
13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
If you did get it what changed? That is a question I would like to take a stab at. But, only if you truly wish to look at all sides. C.S. Lewis was once an Athiest and sat down and looked things over and came to the conclusion that either Jesus was a Lunatic or Lord. He chose Lord.

I'm a believer and I, like Einstein, can't comprehend Heisenberg's radonmist theories.
Let's cut to the chase. ALL non-believers say there is a COSMIC CASINO and it threw a lucky 7 (woah! The "Cosmic Casino" has "hands" to throw dice) and that's why we are here.
And we're supposed to buy into that on what? Faith!
Sounds like religion to me!
(Personally, I'm a poker player, I like the odds better against 4 - 5 other people rather than the Cosmic Casino house).

Because it’s the truth. When you approach God with Faith and ask for guidance, things become clear that seemed nonsense before.
No you were not a believer, not really. If you were you would not have given it up for anything in this world. I know because if I had truly believed as I do now, I wouldn’t have given it up.
No, it does not make me feel superior to say it. I am ashamed that it took me so long to learn these things.

I am not superior, I am a vile and unworthy person. I also do not have blind faith all of the time. I do know that if you truly did get it you would not be an unbeliever now. The insight I have is not reserved but available to all when they truly seek God with all of their heart.

first... The Faith of The True Christian Faith is based on Fact known to The Believer. The Faith of The True Christian is not "blind".
second... you were never one of The True Faith or else you would still be of The Faith. When one knows The Truth there is no turning away from it.
Third... you are the one who is not "comprehending"

I am not sure what your definition of reasonable is. Is reasonable meaning only what I can accept and understand--subjective, or can it have meaning which challenges my objectivity. Reasonable! I suspect you mean rational. No I suspect you did not get it. It is much easier to be an agitator. Much easier to say no. You then need put nothing of yourself -- thinking and feelings- into your response. Just say no and drop the issue . Accept your position and move on to another topic more important to your lifestyle.

Your question is like an oxymoron because,"Reason" Is the
chosen GOD'S way.To reason is opposite of conflict.
By reasoning one is in open agreement to understanding
another.So there for by reasoning many things are explained
and understood with a humanitarian understanding.And God is
by all means suppost to be the sum of all these things .
God is suppost to be the ultimate metaphor ,example
