I've always thought to be a true Christian, you have to at some point in your life reevaluate the world as an athiest. Otherwise, you will always be bogged down by the doubt that you have never really believed to begin with. Just as free will is requisite to make a decision, so is the clarity of mind to observe things without bias.
And yes, if that discernment is as good as you say, maybe you should take up poker. Is that guy trying to put a move on me with 2nd pair, or does he have the straight? If you can figure that one out 100% of the time, you're feeling pretty good most of the time.
