Me.
When I was an atheist I met a Christian friend who would spar with me a bit. When I listed contradictions and made the argument that the Bible was fallible he rplied, "What's your point?" And then when I had made all the arguments I could muster he said, "If humans were only rational and if irrational things were worth nothing at all then you would absolutely have discovered all there is to know, I agree. But if you love someone, and if you think it is unlikley you are smarter than the 2,000 years of people who came before you, then you might have a serious problem reducing man to the purely rational." That was the conversation that made it possible for me to entertain the possibility of something more than the material world.

Sorry, just the opposite, Raised Christian, got a world class, first rate education, now I'm a skeptic. And yes, I've read the Bible, studied religion, researched the whole ball of wax to the tiniest detail and I do not believe that there is a god, gods, spirits, demons, ghosts, pink unicorns, tooth fairies, or roaming gnomes.
PS: Lee Strobel's claim to have been a skeptic prior to his conversion has been seen as nothing more than a literary device. He may not have been a firm believer or member of any church, but he was never trained as a scientist and never demonstrated or wrote about any real skeptical opinions prior to his conversion.

Heh. a super variety of excellent factors on your placed up, there. i think of that no particular faith could take the blame for the state of the international. perhaps quite, the countless persons at the back of those religions. that is like while the completed 9/eleven ingredient exceeded off interior the U. S.. human beings began to anticipate that between the standards to stick to the Muslim faith exchange into to hate united statesa.. Meh. in line with danger this variation right into a foul occasion. that is late... in short, i do no longer think that Christianity has something to do with any of the unfavorable components of this international we live in as we talk. the individuals who abuse it are at fault.

Lee Strobel comes to mind. He wrote "The Case for Christ" following his decision to convert from atheism to Christianity.

It's usually the other way around.
But I think Lee Strobel is one.
