I do see where you are coming from, but I still think it is possible that the reasoning behind accepting an ”irrational’ belief could be circular at the moment of acceptance.
Are you referring to the logic I pointed out in another thread?
a. The Bible is absolutely true
b. Any facts which contradict the inspired scriptures must therefore be false.
a. Since anything which doesn't agree with the Bible is false, the Bible is true, and Jesus is the Christ.
If that's the kind of logic employed at the moment of conversion/repentance, I'd agree the belief is circular. Although in my limited experience, people believe for other reasons initially, and only later get trapped in the circular loop of fundamentalism.
