it means that when you think logically you lean towards Atheism, but when you think intuitively, you lean towards Theism.

I don't know if I would put it that way, exactly.

I think it's possible to believe in God in an intuitive way, but also be able to acknowledge that you don't have all the logistics worked out.

Some people don't give that any thought because they see truth as what is true to them. They don't feel any responsibility to work things out linearly. Some can't give intuition any credit because they cannot see the value in non-linear thinking.

Balancing the two can be quite a process. I know that intuition can be wrong. But I've found my intuition quite useful and accurate in other matters. I don't believe that just because I cannot provide a logical argument for or against something, that means my intuition is wrong.

I like to have a logical argument that supports my intuition. And I like for logical arguments of others to "ring true" to my intuitive feeling.

My mother is just intuitive. My father is just logical. Neither of them is always right and neither or them is always wrong. I grew up trying to strike the balance, so I may be more aware than "normal people" that I strive to find that balance in myself.

And there is a possibility that women in general are more likely to try to balance the two because we have more connections between the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

Yes. Just because a person does not believe in God or questions the exixstence thereof does not mean they are not spiritual. To say only a believer is spiritual or rather religous is very arrogant. As Buddhist I do not have the concept but I certaintly am religious. Afterall there are many religious traditions that do not affirm nor deny the existence of a supreme creater it is simply an alien concept to them. The truth of the matter is that the idea of a creater is a result of dualist Imperic thinking hence the exixtence of a self and the need for a complimentary supernatural being to guide them. Again I do not deny the existence of a creater but I also do not affirm the exixtence of one.

One's soul could be in a state of confusion. But the position of the Spirit will be the determining factor of where your inner person is spiritually.

No. If you have a brain & some life experience, you know on both sides.

My intuition is not religion based...

I think it's better possible if you have a split personality.

Sounds like your brain is pulling itself apart over God. Reading your Bible will reveal that God wants to make you whole.

I'm not sure what that means...

Oh, then I suppose yes.

Intuition can lead you one way while reason can lead you another. I suppose, in the end, you have to decide which view corresponds with reality.
