Convert me?

[philemon]

But, if you wanna have a good ol fassion debate, feel free to Email me (not starting a mailing list) or contact me on AIM and we'll have a good ol' time.

No, I doubt we'd have a "good ol' time" debating with atheists is so boring - it's always the same old tired argument......it leads no-where - just like atheism...yawn....

So what I'm asking is for someone to convert me. This is you're chance to convert an atheist that's willing to change. What I want is people to Email me with whatever tricks they have that can show me 'the light'. I want to hear it. If you have a friend that's good at this sort of thing, I want to hear what they have to say.

This doesn't sound at all genuine. Someone who is truly searching for God doesn't request "tricks" or seek people who are "good at that sort of thing" as if it were some party piece.

You can't just stand on the outside of God and "debate" your way to Him via some "tricks."

You, my friend, need to go within and ask yourself some hard and searching questions. You need to "seek" the Truth, not "tricks."

I have some questions for you:

Where does evil come from?

Do you look in the mirror and wonder why you are capable of both Love and Evil?

Have you ever sinned?

What makes you Love or Hate?

Why do people commit acts of evil? Why are they also capable of Love?

What is the meaning of Life?

Why are you here?

As of right now, I'm more or less an atheist. Although I want to be converted. I don't believe in a god. I also don't believe in creationism. I find evolution to do a much better job at explaining things.

So what I'm asking is for someone to convert me. This is you're chance to convert an atheist that's willing to change. What I want is people to Email me with whatever tricks they have that can show me 'the light'. If you have a question or statement that proves the existants of god, or disproves the existance of evolution, I want to hear it. If you have a friend that's good at this sort of thing, I want to hear what they have to say.

I would appreciate if you Emailed your responces to me . I ask this because I won't be able to look at these forums for a few days / weeks, although it shouldn't be a problem for me to read my Email. I won't respond to any of the Emails unless noted by the sender.

If this is in the wrong section of the forum, feel free to move it. I'm not looking to start a flame war.

Thank you, and I look forward to reading some Emails.

I love posts like this. Like we trick people into believing, or God does.

Doubtless MastahC, you are a better witness to yourself than I for one could ever be, knowing the things in your life that are difficult to explain of...

But I will simply share a final revelation I had as a realist, before becoming a Christian:

"At this point in time, I do not believe in life after death. I have embraced the belief that after this life, there is nothing, and have an argument for every possibility yet encountered. I find myself hating this world I live in, unhappy, and all I have to look forward to is non-existence. Above any other beliefs I have studied or encountered, Christianity seems to be the most unattainable, yet the most appealing process. If I accept it, and see what it is to follow this Christ to God, I lose nothing if I am wrong in doing so; if I am right, I gain everything." -Monday, September 13, 1999.

May you be blessed.

Whoa! Now you got me thinkin'.....

Seriously, these are all the questions I wrestled with before I realized Who God is....even as a kid, I couldn't fathom just 'dyin' and that was it...didn't make a bit o' sense.
