Has anyone been able to convince you to become an atheist if you have been a believer in GOD the creator? If you are an atheist has anyone been able to conivnce you that thier is a GOD that created the universe?
Has anyone been able to convince you to change your faith to another?
Since you have been here do you think you have been able to become more tolerant or less tolearant of other people's religious or non-religious views?
Or has there been no change for you since you been on this site?

A very dear friend of mine converted from Christianity ot atheism while using this site. It, of course, wasn't the only influence, but the people on here help her a lot in that process.
I haven't changed, but I've learned a lot. Having been raised in an atheistic country, Y!A has taught me a lot about Christianity. Bad things, but most definetely also good things.

I came here over a year ago to try to find some answers as an agnostic. The person who made me choose to become an atheist was a Christian regular here. She said horrible things under the guise of Christian moraIity. I simply decided I didn't want to be associated with people who thought and spoke the way she did. And it wasn't just her - I see it all the time in my own life too. I don't think I'm less tolerant of people's views. I've always been able to see both sides of an argument. I am not trying to convert anyone to my way of thinking. People are free to think and believe whatever they want. I just don't want to have morality dictated to me.

Religious change is rarely the result of one argument, at least not real change.
When I deconverted from Christianity, it was over many years and took a lot of introspection and study. However, I did talk to other people and much of this was on bulletin board systems. (BTW, a BBS is a discussion board that predates the Internet. I've been an atheist for over 20 years.)

Although there has been no chnage since I have been on this site, ( haven't been here too long) my ideas about god and spirituality are ever changing. I think as you really think about things, and analyze them and grow, and have life experiences you are inevitably going to have new ideas and I think that is a good thing. I think listening to others ideas is a good tool for thinking about spirituality, but I do not think silent and accepting blind faith is good. Listen, respect, and rely on your own mind and soul for truth.

I think it has made my faith stronger. I am a Christian. I used to belong to a prayer group and often times we prayed for the needs of the world. Often times prayed that many people would come to a saving relationship with Christ. In that group those types of people were vague to me. Coming here I see you, the ones who don't know Jesus. It makes me care more because I see the personality of those who don't know God. I could never leave my faith in Christ, it has been my rock and my peace, my Good Shepherd. He loves you all.

I have become more tolerant of people who show tolerance and less tolerant of those who choose to not be tolerant.
I view this as an entertaining diversion and an opportunity to learn about the former and to p'ss off the latter.

I remain a Humanist and Unitarian Universalist. Then again, I'm not here to convert anyone or looking to be converted. I'm here to gain a better understanding of how people from a variety of backgrounds view religious and spiritual matters and share my own experiences and opinions.

Mostly I have learned how mixed up people are and how people who have never read the Bible or taken a college level class in evolution can try to pass themselves off as experts in science and theology.

Only the Holy Spirit can lead a person to Christianity.
