i was just asking out of curiosity. it seems most of us know what we believe so i wonder why we have so many questions? are they just for discussion and debate?

No question or answer in particular changed my beliefs, but spending time here did cause me to lean deeply towards atheism. I had considered myself agnostic for a while, and the thought-provoking Q&A forced me to look deeper into what I personally believed (or didn't believe).
My beliefs weren't changed, they were realized.

My beliefs only get stronger the more people spread their hate and say the things that I've been hearing for years and disagree with so in a way it has changed them but only by pushing me farther into my beliefs.

LOL! I could write a book on this! If this is more than mere curiosity please email me or stop by my 360 and leave a comment I would be happy to share my crazy year on Y!A R&S. It has been educational.

Of course not. People do not change beliefs on the basis of intellectual discourse or bullying on any matter of belief—they only use the information that strengthens their position..

I don't think I have... I mean I've learned a lot (mostly that you just can't reason with some people) but I don't think my own beliefs have ever changed.

I know 2 Christians on this forum who are Atheists now. I am so glad they joined the dark side !

I doubt it. Perhaps a seed has been planted here and there, but this is too random an input to be taken very seriously.

no but beliefs are refined from constantly exploring and considering other people beliefs. this is how I became non-religious.
this didn't happen through yahoo answers though...

I used to think we could come to an agreement with Christians.
I now see that's impossible.

I guess I could say that it has made me feel much better about my choice to step away from religion.
