Your comment hit me right in the reality. I’m a uni student currently taking an OOP Cpp course. At times I don’t know what to ask or how to ask it because of the cognitive load. Value of, address at, private member function, pure virtual functions, bah! I’ll get there, eventually.
Threw in the towel on a decade long career and went back to school. Career was affecting my health as well, physically and mentally, I'm 37 now. Your comment mirrors my own experiences. Just know that you're not alone.
Yes, but you've conveniently left out your other pillars...
Reasoning is just the act of thinking. An explanation for something which, according to you, should be framed around: Scripture, Tradition, and Christian Experiences.
Scripture: Tells you how to feel (emotion)
Tradition: Tells you this is how we've always felt (emotion)
Christian Experience: Is a grouping of Scripture and Tradition (emotion)
Methodist Quadrilateral still teaches their followers to view issues and compare them to their scripture, then their traditions, then reason, and Christian experiences...
Those are literally the four pillars of Wesleyan, which are all emotion over logic.
I think another great data point to give clarity would be college degrees. 1999 is basically the start of millennial generation college attendance. Millennials are between 30-40 years old now and are the largest generation with the highest education ever in the history of the world (I believe China might be beating this record soon, if not already). Lots of correlations between level of education and lack of religion.
