Why is it when people whoa re determined to go out and disprove Religions end up joining them?

Don't you find it kind of odd? I've known at least five people who have gone out to disprove the claims of Christ, two who tried to disprove Allah, and three who tried to disprove that there was a God at all. They all ended up becoming Religious and on fire for their Religions.

So, this one is for everyone! Why do you suppose people that go out to disprove the claims of Religions and such end up actually end up getting converted themselves? Could it possibly be that some Religions are actually true? You tell me... I'm stumped...

For the people who reply by saying "Maybe it's just because they're all retarded!" or give a somewhat non-existent or non-fulfilling answer, why do you think that?

When did I say only five? "Five who went to disprove Christ, two who tried to disprove Allah, and three who tried to disprove a God at all."

Did I ever say that people studying Religion would convert? I believe I said "When they go out to DISPROVE Religions" there is a difference there.

Just some, I did not say all, and I did not say just a friend of mine. I simply declared those whom I've known.

Also, to the few stragglers, I'm not saying people are "out to get me" truly, if I were doing such as thing as you say, I would have said that "Everyone is trying to disprove me and they are turning to Religion!"

You, in your right mind of air, can not say that I am simply trying to "be all defensive and paranoid" I am simply asking a question to find feedback on the world. Case in point.

Better known Atheists that have become born-again Christians everyday and since the beginning. There are thousands of testimonies of it. Here are some examples:

Hard-core atheists/anti-Christians turned born-again Christian:

G. Zeinelde Jordan
Conversion of an active atheist and member of American Atheists

Josh McDowell

A.S.A. Jones
A "devout atheist for over twenty years" finds the truth when trying to prove it wrong in the Bible.

Rev. R. G. Rindfuss

What a gaggle of horse dung! truly! How does Heisenberg uncertainty thought (which sort of states that when you pinpoint an electron as to the place it truly is you could no longer tell the place it is going and in case you comprehend the place it is going you could no longer tell the place it truly is.) have something to do with the universe being undetermined and random? The uncertainty isn't that that's random or undetermined the uncertainty is which you would be able to no longer comprehend the the place it truly is and the place it is going on the comparable time, yet those are the two parts which would be had at separate situations. how are you able to logically leap from electrons to the universe? If what you're saying is authentic and electrons are random and for this reason the universe is then that randomness turns right into a trend and not something interior the universe would desire to make any experience. like the improbabilitypersistent on Zaphod's spaceship interior the Hitchhikers instruction manual if issues are rather random then whales would desire to be appearing in mid air and crashing to the earth. additionally your Schrodinger equation this would be a quantum concept of how a photon (mild waves) can function as a particle and a as a wave on the comparable time. alongside with this thought you have over a dozen extra that are contradictory to Schrodinger's and yet answer the comparable subject. So how does that disprove there's a God? It would not clarify the place the photons got here from interior the 1st place, it would not clarify the existence of self, will, morals, supernatural, and so on. truly throwing up this vomit is rather detrimental. in simple terms as a results of fact maximum Christians do no longer understand quantum physics, and in case you published this you of course do no longer the two.

No I have never known anyone trying to disprove a religion. Religions need to be proved. There is nothing to disprove about them. If people tried to go about disproving fantasy it would be a waste of time. Quit dreaming that someone is out to get you. Suck it up and live with your fantasy if you have to. And why is it there are still monkeys?.

THE LOVE OF GOD CAME FOR EVERY MAN
JN3.16

Those that try to refute it often find their logic
is imagined and the truth has set them free Jn 8:32

Reading the Quran, Bible, Book of Mormon, Septugent and going into Buddhist temples etc. I found the one true God and the
BIBLE proved all others wrong by showing their position with
Him. The Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us Jn 1:14 Rm 2:11; Eph 6:9 God is no respecter of persons
And many have the zeal for God not knowledge Rm 10:1-4

Cultism can be a powerful thing. Are you saying every single person who starts out trying to disprove a religion converts, or just a few?

Your statement is missing a few qualifiers. Like, " Some people who try to prove religion false end up becoming religious..." etc. Because, quite clearly, it's not all people. It's not even most people. In fact, I wouldn't even say some people, more like a scattered few who were probably faking it in the first place anyway. I mean, a determined Atheist becoming religious does make a good story for the logically challenged to attach their hopes.

The Bible tells us that God is a father. He's a father to each and every one of us. Now let's say you decided to disobey your father; a loving wonderful father. First, he will let you disobey and then tell you that what you did was wrong. If you do it again, he may just stand back and watch you take the fall. If you do it once more, he will say, "Ok. Let me show you where your logic is misguided in this." Maybe it wouldn't even take this long. God is a father of doing. Not just sitting around waiting for people to find him. He wants to bring his children home and teach them to be like him.

I went out not to disprove anyone, but to find God, and I found him all on my own, and am the happier for it...organized religion is poison

Because when you disapprove with something, you go more research on the opposite viewpoint and end up thinking more about a subject and then eventually, you find yourself drawn to what you previously thought was insane. Maybe??

Most atheists were formally theists--with a strong desire to find truth---they found they couldn't find it within the confines of organized religion--or indeed in any one faith--when you come to the realization that no religion "owns" God or "truth"--& that EVERY religion contains flaws in their tenets--you have to leave them behind--& you find you can't go backwards into pretending that any one religion is "true".
