Well you're right about that, but consider the context in which I wrote that which you quoted and replied to. I wasn't just saying that out of the blue - what I wrote was a direct response to someone who had written ".... theists conceive of a metaphysical that intersects the physical...."
A theist is simply a believer, so I was replying that your average believer doesn't concern himself about such things, i.e., the "metaphysical intersecting the physical"

I am the person who wrote that, as it is a partial description of how I understand the universe to work.  The relationships of the metaphysical and the physical are precisely what theists concern themselves with, not just in hopes of finding salvation or redemption but also to honor and give appreciation for all of nature and life's "mysteries".

many just believe, period, and don't ever even think about exactly why they believe, don't ever question it, just go with it as if it were a given fact.

Well, most people would neither understand proof nor disproof if it were provided.  Who are you referring to?  Creationists?  Theists in general?  Scripture itself is full of stories of faith being tested, and those people you are referring to actually apply them in their lives.  They may question whether they have brought something bad up on themselves.  They might question whether god loves them or it trying to lead them to a particular choice or opportunity.  And given enough time to question they may also conclude that there indeed is no god. 

I questioned it, and I learned much I did not know.  I did not become an atheist, so I can't conclude that all questioning leads to that decision.  I studied anthropology and cosmology in public school, never once seeing science at odds with faith.  Then again, I was never taught that earth as a planet was only a few thousand years old.  When I later looked into scripture to see why people believed that,  I was hardly surprised to learn that scripture never even says such a thing.
