an athiest for thirty years with numerous famous books, just decided to become a theist. And it's not good enough? Oh I think the arguments are conclusive, but not everyone in the world does. Doesn't mean they aren't good arguments though. Rarely does the masses believe the right things.
Which atheist?

The bible disproves what you say, so. It doesn't make sense people 2000 years ago would write lies etc like that.
The bible is not a fairy tale, when I read it, I found truth. I got happy and felt love and peace. When I read it sometimes it's like living water in my heart.
(Ephesians 5:26) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
(John 17:17) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
(John 7:38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
An example is when I had been away from The Word of God (the Holy Bible) once. I had a spiritual thirst. I felt literal thirst too, and it got quenched by reading the bible. The heart is our inner-being - our spirit. We consist of spirit, soul and body. An example is that we feel aching etc and other things in our hearts, connected to Sins like bitterness etc. How can this be? It proves we have a spirit.
If you were physically thirsty, I would recommend a glass of water... the bible is quite dry.
And that doesn't prove we have a spirit at all, that shows we have emotion. There is no evidence that spirits or souls exist.
There's no evidence souls or spirits exist? Yes, there are many videos and pictures of real angels etc.

Angels are spirits, the bible says so. What else do you believe they are? So many people have testified how angels saved them from accidents or similar. Are they just lying or how else did they get saved miraculously?
It doesn't have to be a lie. They can simply be honestly mistaken.
Thousands of people die daily from strange and horrific accidents that could not of possibly been influenced by themselves. Where are their angels?
They were mistaken. If that constitutes a 'lie', then they were lying, but I wouldn't consider it a lie to simply be mistaken.Angels are spirits, the bible says so. What else do you believe they are?

How do you differentiate between someone who survives by pure chance, or by the actions of doctors or firemen, and those who survive because of angels?The angels weren't assigned to protect those people.

It depends. Many people testify how angels protected them etc.
I don't doubt, but that doesn't make it so. In every case where these things have been put under scrutiny, it's always turned out to be a natural cause.It depends. Many people testify how angels protected them etc.
If a high-profile Christian -- someone you admire, and who had published many well-written books in favor of Christianity -- were to publicly declare that he or she had become an atheist, would that be good enough for you to change your mind about atheism? Be honest, now.
Ah yes, the "people turn from God because they don't want to be held accountable". Do people actually believe that line? Do they not see the glaring fallacy, not to mention the enormous arrogance of it?most people don't have an intellectual problem with theism, but an accountability problem. They are resultantly much more liberal in their lifestyles. (not always but most of the time).

Most people don't believe in Christianity (or any other religion, for that matter) because they don't believe it's true. Why aren't you a Muslim, Jain, Hindu, or Buddhist? Because you don't believe they're true. Not because you have some strange phobia to accountability, not because of some spiritual warfare that turns you away from the One True Religion that is Jainism, not because you have hardened your heart towards Brahaman, not because you secretly know Odin exists but just hate him - you just don't believe those religions are true.I am feeling pretty good about myself right now....
but actually it is usually that people don't want to commit to christianity is the reason why they are not christian. Theism is similiar to that I suppose.
