Didn't think I'd be at this point again...

It sounds like the Holy Spirit is drawing you to Jesus. Let Him!
Speaking for myself Christians are not perfect and we mess up. But as a Christian you don't follow people you follow Jesus who never makes a mistake.

but it seems like I'm back to where I was years ago, I'm actually considering the possibility of Christianity again.

Why Christianity? Why not Buddhism? Have you ever tried meditation? What makes Christianity stand out over every other religion in this world?

It just seems odd, that the subject of Christian apologetics keeps coming up in conversations I have, and at church, and it just seems to be more than a coincidence.

Christianity and theology is a hot topic. It is only natural that people want to discuss the concept of God because of the huge implications it has(is there an afterlife, what is the purpose of life, etc). These are questions that everyone asks themselves at some point in their life and it is no surprise that you will run into people who want to discuss these things as well.

Just the fact that after all this parading I've done against Christianity, I'm again thinking about it, seems like some sort of miracle.

You don't have to be a christian to think about theology. Where is the miracle here?

But obviously, with all the atheist argument I've done here in just a few weeks, I'm still having doubts.

It is quite natural to have doubts about things. However,have you found any convincing refutations of these "atheistic arguments" you mentioned? For the sake of truth, you must push aside emotional attachments and ask yourself hard questions that will have hard answers. Does Christianity, with all its supernatural stories and appeals to divine authority, seem reasonable to you?Will standing back, waving your hand, and saying "God did it", really satisfy your quest for understanding and truth? Ask yourself what is more important: the truth or a cushy unsubstantiated belief?

It so makes me laugh because we are always as Christians accused of wanting to convert people over to our beliefs......seems that the aetheists are doing the same thing.

Not quite the same thing. He wouldn't be "converting" to a belief if he stuck with atheism, but rather he would be reverting to the default position. Atheism isn't a belief, its a default position on the question of the existence of supernatural deities. It just so happens that the default is "unless there is evidence, stick with non-theism". He brought up "atheistic arguments", so I was merely asking him to go back and reconsider those arguments and ask himself what is the most reasonable position. It is obvious he has pondered these questions before, and if he chose to disregard the arguments for the sake of emotional comfort, then he would be being intellectually dishonest with himself, which is obviously something I wouldn't want for a fellow human being.
