Checkmate atheists. I mean theists.

It's impossible to generate a random number.  Uncheckmate!

Or even one that corresponds to outside reality, in this case.

You're immature, and your life is meaningless according to your own beliefs. You believe you are nothing more than time, chance, and chemical reactions. You have no meaning and no hope, therefore, you seek out meaning by trying to feel as if you know something more than others, or that you have the canny ability to disprove an argument.

I pity you, simply because I've been where you are. I contemplated suicide when I was an atheist, because I simply couldn't escape the fact that deep down, I felt life was utterly cruel, meaningless, and empty.

Atheists often scoff, "My life has meaning. I love my friends, spouse, kids, etc." That's a delusion. You are all nothing but chemical reactions. You'll die and quickly fade away from the mind of the world. You know this is true. Does that sit well with you?

I believe in God. I'm not going to bore you with the details of my conversion, because your intent is clearly only to puff up yourself with pride (one of the worst sins), and to feel like a know-it-all. A wise man once said this: "A true Christian testimony is worth a library full of arguments."

I know that when I found the truth, it changed my life. I know that I have peace. I know that I have meaning and a creator. I don't have to waste my time trying to mock others, create goofy avatars, or show my immaturity and pride. I've got a life, and I like to help others in my spare time to find the truth that I've discovered myself.

Does atheism liberate you? From what? From meaning? From purpose? Or liberate you to sin? For what? Does sin not bring about death? Does sin not cause misery and pain?

Does atheism liberate you to think freely? Do you think Christians, before their conversion, didn't also think and ponder all religions and possibilities? If I find truth, what more is there to search? If I discover the answer to an equation, why keep working on it? It is solved.

The mystery of this life is solved for me, and my daily walk with God proves it. I seek nothing more. I have peace. I have a life. I have purpose.

Much of this post is subjective.  I will only touch upon one point.  The poster says he found the "truth" assuming he/she means the existence of the Christian God and not also Shiva or Allah or any of the other hundred plus gods that have been purposed. The word "truth" as defined is that which is accepted as fact.  I contest that it is not accepted as fact or this forum would not exist.  My analogy is that truth=fact=that which CAN be proven.... not something that can't be disproven.
If Jehova, Osiris, or Odin did approach all of humanity and prove said godlyness then all speculation and aurgument would disappear. 
So to say "truth" is grossly inaccurate.  If poster want to use the words "faith" and "believe" then the poster would be much more accurate

Yes, it's actually very comforting the way I see it

I disagree, but I think what we're disagreeing on is the perspective.  If you have an objective, I'm guessing, you are saying you are more likely to achieve the objective by being logical.  I'm saying it doesn't matter whether you achieve the objective or not, so how you go about doing it doesn't matter.
