I believe they are here because In their hearts they are seeking the truth.
Actually let me give you some rope here, you're right. I seek answers I never got as a theist, now I'm atheist and I still seek the exact same answers.
Their disdain of spiritual matters is a smoke screen as they continue to glean evidence they so desperately desire.
You're right again, almost. I scan the evidence given, be it what little you do give.
They dog this website, throwing every imaginable trick they can at believers to achieve clarification on matters that haunt them.
We seek some clarification, but where's the trick?
After all, they are cold....not lukewarm.
Oh come on I'm warm and loving. Do you want a hug? Have a hug.
A lukewarm person would not waste their time.
Sorta right?
They are the ones who have been inoculated with just enough of The Good News to prevent becoming infected. But not these guys.
Infected? Noice.
I say stay in there swinging, guys. You know if you hang around a barbershop long enough, eventually you're going to get a haircut.
Uh... ahaha. No. There's an lukewarm analogy.
To believers I say they may very well someday be some of the most powerful and effective preachers of the Gospel among us.
Atheists who become believers again generally feel IMMENSE guilt about it and go off the rails with the preaching.
Besides, they do a great job of honing our faith. What would we do without them?
I mean sure, everyone needs an enemy.
I believe that too, in their hearts they want to believe
You're right you know. I do, now make me believe it.
even if their mind is still poisoned by atheism and secularism
More like polluted with common sense and dignity.
they try to recover and meet God.
Just present a credible case and we'll consider it. We come here to discuss, it's why we're here. If we actually didn't care enough to get questions answered we literally wouldn't have come. Sadly we have to all deal with usually poorly designed arguments and rhetoric and senseless bickering that leads nowhere. It feels like wasted effort but seriously it's a forum.
And we're here also to give a reasonable, non-theistic view here on your topics. It gives you insights, you give us insights. We are mutually beneficial here.
