We shouldn’t underestimate the millions who have, but we must also acknowledge that we aren’t quite as rational as we like to think. Why do so many ignore the warning signs plastered across cigarette ads and smoke anyway? Because they like to, and so suppress the truth in order to justify what they want. Likewise we suppress the truth about Jesus in order to live as we want rather than as God wants. We ignore, tame, look down on, or even ridicule Christianity – all out of a desire to sidestep its implications.
(John 3:19-21)
