Using Both Logic and Intuition

In psychology, there are four attachment styles.

Secure.

Anxious preoccupied.

Dismissive Avoidant.

Fearful Avoidant.

Anxious attachment styles uses primarily emotions to make decisions while dismissive avoidants use logic as their main strategy. Secure encourages both options. And fearful avoidant is disorganized, using one or the other at different times.

My attachment style is originally fearful avoidant. Trying to become secure, but I honestly don't know if being secure means I have to ignore the social injustices I go through a lot. Does an I'm okay, you're okay worldview mean I have to blindly trust others, and if so, to what extent?

Anyway, it seems to me that atheists primarily use logic and base everything on what's scientifically provable while Christians base everything on faith and intuition.

And I'm sitting here thinking: "Well, technically, we're here to use both, not one or the other."

I can confidently use my intuition to tell me that seeing the door lock on its own with my mom watching and then saying something about it had to have been a spiritual experience. That's the only label we have that for that experience, and I highly doubt there will be another label ever. I know on the atheist experience, Matt Dillahunty talks about how you can't equate certain experiences to assuming there's a God undoubtedly. But my experience was undeniably spiritual. There is no going around that. There's not another label for this experience, and there won't be.

That's not the only thing I saw. I saw a girl telling me my dad's full name and said he's coming after me. I've had the cops talk amongst themselves and say they thought they saw Josh in my car when I knew he wasn't there. And I'm supposed to be the schizophrenic one. I've seen Jesus in the hospital opening his arms out and a supposed Christian girl who was mean to me get demonically possessed. My intuition tells me there must be something more. By Mike's experiences he shared where he also saw things outside of his schizophrenia.

And we have the lesser form of it by the way. Schizoaffective disorder. It is not as severe as full blown schizophrenia, but in a world where the mentally ill often get dismissed and gaslit, I'm trusting my inner voice.

But I'm also still exploring and personally wanna know everything about the arguments for and against God. I probably could do this through a more objective lens than most people. Because there's part of me who just wants to die in the ground and never see anyone again. And there's another part that yearns for something more. And I have no idea which one will win.

Spirituality is very important to me as an INFP. I view life in a very poetic way. But this doesn't mean I can't use logic. I most certainly can and will, and it is the reason why I tread cautiously as a Christian. Too many people have been hurt by Christians, and I just couldn't live with myself for being horrible to prostitutes or gay people.

And that is why both logic and intuition are important. Not just one or the other. This is the mistake I often see atheists and Christians making. Atheists think just because something can't be proven, it's automatically invalid. I think that's nonsense.

MBTI for example is just a tool to assess your general personality type, and it is still useful without being scientifically proven. Twin flames technically aren't proven either, but it's a label associated with an experience I had. So, it's still valid on some level. Whether it's real or not is none of my concern.

Christians think that just because a book said so, it's automatically valid. Which is also dangerous.

Do you want to stone gay people? Do you want to make others your slave under Exodus 21?

That's why I wonder if the Catholic church corrupted The Bible. It says in Chat GPT that no, they didn't, but I highly doubt Chat GPT would be accurate about something like that. They'll probably purposely hide that information from the general public.

I'm a girl who likes dirty little secrets.
