Well, at least not in my case. I am very organized, tidy, etc., but I certainly emphasize the role of grace.
I think various attributes affect the kind of belief system one will lean toward. Personality is just one of them.
I tend to agree. The thought that I have been exploring is that there may be any number of non-spiritual, non-biblical, non-divine attributes that affect the kind of belief system one will lean toward. Personality is only one of these attributes. There are many things that shape a persons world view, including life experiences, family affiliations, the media, one's social network, etc. I am sure there are many others.
Although there are many who may believe that their belief system is shaped primarily by "God" and "the Bible" (and I was once such person), I wonder how many are aware of the ways in which these other attributes shape what they believe to be true.
Again, I am not questioning whether there is "truth." Rather, I am questioning the ratio between the amount of "truth" I think I understand and the amount of "truth" I actually understand.
