Many Christians and Muslims, when confronted with an atheist, will tell the atheist, "You just have to believe..."
I used to believe, with all my heart. I was a born again, convicted, saved sealed & delivered Christian. I never set out to be an atheist, I never desired to be an atheist. I simply followed the evidence where it lead me. This is the nature of belief -- belief is those things we hold as true based on our experiences.
So what I want to know is -- if my experiences do not support the deific conclusion, how exactly do I trick myself into believing?
Please don't say, "Pray with a sincere heart and he'll reveal himself to you..." Been there, done that. There's apparently more to it than that.
