I hear your call oh great Jody G.
What you believe in religious terms is a function of what you have been told in the environment in which you live.
There is a whole different world out there where you can learn and think for yourself and not be guided by a 2000 year old collection of documents written by people who knew less about the world than a 12 year old would know today.
There is no need to try to convert atheists. Most of us have done the christianity scene and left it behind.

I'm not atheist, but I certainly don't agree with your religious views so:
1) Take some time. Don't just shout to me about your religion. Explain it.
2) Back up your arguments with non-religious (historical, philosophical) sources.
3) Use logic and reason. Accept that I won't believe you instantly.
4) Don't start with any givens - ie don't try to prove Christianity by drawing on the 'fact' that Jesus was the Son of God.
5) Draw on personal experiences of God, if any.
6) DON'T use the 'if you don't believe me, you're going to Hell' line. It never works.

The underlying question in your question, the subliminal real fear you have is that we are beginning to convert you.
You desperately want company in your insecurity. Yet you know on a conscious level j.c. couldn't walk on water, the Noah didn't build a big boat, that god was unable to turn Lot's wife into a pillar of salt. They are slipping away as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny have slipped from your beliefs.

I don't think there is anything that you can say or do that will convert me to your particular brand of sky-fairy worship, save for some obvious miracle stuff. Of course, they will have to be performed under controlled circumstances.

Sex. a/s/l? You have to be a fit chick though.
No seriously you would have no chance of converting me. I'm too strong willed and logical.I don't do anything i don't want for people i know let alone a stranger on the internet. As far as religion is concerned that's a definite no no.

Fool, get a hobby. You can't "convert" anyone with a mind of thier own.
Now I bet the collective is warm and toasty, but I've fine the way my life is.
There is no such thing as a god, puppet. Get a hobby.

Forget it-I wouldn't touch Christianity with a barge pole. How can I convert you to the path of reason and common sense?

If you had any proof to offer. But it's been 2000 years, and no proof yet. Hint: the bible doesn't count. It's just a book.

without facts, evidence and logic, you can't.
since i don't forsee any of that coming my way, you won't.
