What Would It Take To Convince You Otherwise
121 Answers
As a young, ex fundamental, evangelical Christian, what led me out of faith was an (albeit reluctant) admission that I was simply wrong. After years of wrestling with doubts, questions, voracious reading, Bible study, prayer, etc I simply had to admit that my faith was misplaced and I had NO evidence for my beliefs. I had to accept that I was wrong on so many levels.
SO...what would it take to convince you (if you are religious) that *YOU* may be wrong?
(Conversley....just to be fare...what would convince an atheist that THEY may be wrong)?

And since leaving Christianity, I have enjoyed a relationship with reality!
//If you doubt whether God exists, simply ask Him. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. What possibly can you lose by doing this//
Did you not read my OP fiveleaves? I spent my teenage years praying for God to 'reveal' himself. He didnt then and hasn't since.

//I really can't be bothered//
That really IS the difference between you and me Theland.
I *COULD* be bothered.
As a Christian I was bothered about the souls of my loved ones. I was bothered about people ending up in hell. I was bothered about Gods never ending vengeance and blood lust all throughout the Bible.
And now (as a non-believer) Im bothered at how people still believe this carp.

//When you know someone close with an incurable deadly disease, ones belief in god's miracle cure is all you rely on//
all the people who had miracles in the Bible are dead - - - it doesnt confer immortality. but of course you really knew that
and if Nailit really HAD been a fundementalist, he cd recall that the whole of the beginning of St John involves a discussion of why there arent miracles ( coz they dont work to convert )

What do you expect me to say, Nailit? Do you want me to say that you have convinced me that Christianity is a load of rubbish and I should give up my faith. The fact is I am never going to abandon my faith, never ever. I could tell you I have a pain in my shoulder. You can choose to believe me or not. I tell you I have a personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ . Again you are free to believe me or not.
There's not much more I can say.
I am sorry you have had a negative experience of Christianity. I dont know what went wrong for you. There is always a way to God while we are alive on earth. Please look at God afresh
