And how many of you were converted to Christ through these forums?
Please, no hate-filled answers. I'm just curious to see if there are any.

I was an Atheist for a short time when someone brought it to my attention that I admitted the truth: I did not really know if there was a God or not! I then adopted the name 'Agnostic' thereafter.
Once I knew there was something else, I knew that it defined me better. I was in junior high school at the time.
For a long time I looked at Atheism with disdain. I still do. Because there is no way that someone can know that there is no God. No way whatsoever. It is a position maintained by pride and ignorance to be an Atheist. They are merely proving it to everyone they speak to whenever they say they are an Atheist. They maintain a position with absolutely no proof and are typically in denial about it. It's a position held out of pure desire - regardless of facts.

I am beginning to think more like an Agnostic, but still consider myself Atheist.
Even though I am allowing myself to "wonder" about certain things, I am not ready to commit to belief in anything beyond my faith in my fellow humans.
What I do NOT see however is my converting BACK to Christianity
so I am not in the number you are seeking

I went through a stage of virulent atheism during college, but then went to Wicca and also aspects of Crowleyism, then fell out of that (for much the same reasons I fell out of Christianity in my teens); dabbled in Zen Buddhism and Native American religious practices. Now back to agnostic, which seems to have informed my searches throughout, really.

im a former athiest, i wasn't changed through these forums, just people talking to me and teaching me the bible, im pretty open so i liked discussions with them. these forums just improved my spirituality because it shows me how much i know and how lost some people truly are, no offense.

Still an atheist, but I'm in the process of becomming a Buddhist, does that count?

Well if we were all born atheists, then I guess you could call me an ex-atheist.
