D2: the only 'belief' an atheist holds is that there is no god. how does this not conform to reality when there is not one single shred of proof, not even the universe we see around us, for this supposed god of yours?

solarius: please don't take offense, but, what could you possibly say to atheists that would sway them to a theistic outlook?

I strongly believe in God without an iota of doubt. I see the evidence of God all around me in God's beautiful creation. Do you not know that the human brain is a masterpiece that could not have come together by blind chance? NO WAY MAN! NO WAY! Only God could put together the intricate deyails of our brain and grant us higher intelligence. Everything had to be precise to have a functional brain. Two many seconds without oxygen would lead the human mind lifeless. No room for the slightest error. There is no scientific theory on earth that can explain this delicate balance between life and death. There must be a GOD somewhere.

Being raised Roman Catholic yet going to public college and seeing different recommendations and evaluations interior the international I too have my eyes opened. What I as quickly as theory became the "in basic terms faith and way" has me thinking two times. Now i think God judges hearts, no longer guy-made social dogma and opinion. So sure i might surely thank others for beginning my eyes and making me see a extra reality obtainable (that i'm nonetheless looking). = ) staggering question.

I'm Christian, but have quite a few atheist friends. They've said things that certainly made me think and engage in further examination regarding my beliefs. I'm always open to questions. I'm still religious, and they're still atheists, but we listen to each other's viewpoints. They've taught me a lot about not taking things at face value and a lot about debunking, and I've taught them a thing or two about theology, as well. In fact, I've made several addresses to regional atheist meetings, and have been invited back.

I wouldn't go as far as saying "open my eyes" because they're not shut in the first place. I try to be receptive to other people's arguments, especially if they have a valid point. I examine by beliefs regularly.

Dude, I am a Christian who was an athiest who opened his eyes - Because the athiest beliefs did not conform to reality.

Yes, before God opened them to the truth of who Jesus is.

I have never needed "an atheist" to open my eyes. I've done my research, I've put my questions to the test, yet I still believe.

You're right--even our own Bible commands us to examine ourselves! And yes, beliefs that differ from my own (be they athiest, Muslim, Buddhist, whatever) provoke me to examine my faith.
