How many of you are planning to be life-long atheists no matter what occurs? Are there some of you that can possibly change due to experience, books, or other factors?

"Hector": Jesus was real, historically speaking. Whether or not He was Divine is what causes arguments. I personally believe that He was/is/shall always be God.
Did you know that Superman was created to represent Jesus? (Despite the fact that the creators of the comics were Jewish)

"Ms. Taurus": Sorry if I offended you; I assure you that I did not intend to.
Actually, no. There are not that many gay Christians out there.

I don't plan on having no beliefs forever, I just haven't quite scheduled my conversion to any arbitrary religion yet.
Anyway, I would like to think that I wouldn't be particularly swayed by whatever random book I come across, and, to be honest, I can't think of an experience that would directly prompt you to take on a religious faith, unless, of course, you're a wee bit guillible and already a possess a strong desire to join that faith from the get-go.
So, though I admit that I cannot know whether I will change or not, I can sure as hell hope that whatever changes me isn't completely frivolous to the extent that it brings my sanity into question.

Well I've heard testimonies that didn't/doesn't work for me, books, the only book that is suppose to have proof so far is the "holy bible" (there are many versions floating around) that didn't seem to change my belief of being wrong in any way it seemed to have turned me further off from believing since people tend to use that as one of the many "evidence" for god. For factors go haven't really seen any just seem to be question like, i.e. how do you think we, the earth came to be etc etc. I'm open to evidence but unfortunately haven't seen any that would convince me to go back to trying to believe in him.

I am probably a life long atheist because I examined all the evidence and nothing gives the slightest hint of supernatural / occult beings.
Why haven't you asked Christians whether that will be life long believers, no matter what happens?

I'll be an atheist probably until the day I die...however, if there is convincing enough evidence for me converting to whatever religion is being presented, sure, I'll believe in the deity, but I won't worship it...And I doubt any book would get me to convert to any religion.

The only thing that would change my mind is evidence. I have to see a real miracle of god: an amputee growing a limb would be fine, or one of those burning bushes.
God himself could appear and end the whole debate, yet he remains more hidden now than he did in Bible times.

"Are there some of you that can possibly change..."
News flash, we aren't a game to be played, k?
Seriously, I was raised who I am, it's how I see the world...yeah, at my age it's highly unlikely that my beliefs will change. I'm old enough to decide for myself, thanks.
And the whole bit of "how many of you are planning to be life-long atheists" is somewhat insulting, as if you are asking about something ridiculous like hair color.
Sad to say, you are not an anomaly, there are many like you.

I need so REALLY GOOD EVIDENCE, since I don't expect to get any, I'm pretty sure I'll be an atheist for life...but I'm open to changing with the right evidence.

When I get the burning bush talking to me, or I get the same evidence Thomas got, I'll reconsider, what's god enough for prophets and disciples is good enough for honest skeptics.
to answer more directly, I "plan" to be bald the rest of my life.

As the first answerer says, only convincing evidence can get me to change. Not death, near-death experiences or anything of the sort.

I used to believe. Then I learned. Then I was atheist. If the time ever comes when the existence of a diety can be proved, then I will believe.
Throwing Bible verses at me is not proof. :)
Edit:
Mandy you are so mistaken.
