Hmm. You guys don;t waste anytime. I already know what I'll say, but not being a newbie at this, I also know how you'll reply
Let's see... 'so an so' said to be ready to back up what I say... and Atheists are usually (hope that pro "make u feel good about yourself blankets" are permitted) clever... no doubt you will be.
The answer is experience, the one thing you cannot hold over my head, since it is unique to each person.
Because of stories my mother told me from her childhood.
Because of the memories in mine.
Because I am still sane. I will elaborate if you want, but I won't give you a life story unless asked.
Because of good influential people in my life.
Because everyone I could depend on gave glory not to themselves, but to a higher power.
That was amazing to me, since I grew up attention deprived and bragged to get the attention I craved.
Personal Experience.
Do I have reasons to strengthen that belief?
Hell yes, that above only got me to the alter, it took a lot more for me to get where I am today, but what I've told you is the root system of my beliefs, I trust now I will har similar stories concerning atheists and hw they eventually overcame their "brain washing?"
:/
I hope this was mildly satisfactory.

P.S. Realm - hi.
Hi. Why bother to answer a simple hi? 3 reasons, because you said hi, you appreciate people noticing, and I like to make people happy.
