Atheism is not a dogmatic position.
If you were actually reading all the responses to your posts, you would notice a pretty common theme. And that is, that we are atheists because we are unconvinced by the arguments put forth by theists that a god exists.
If we were convinced, then we wouldn't be atheists.
I get the impression that you do not understand how basic logic and critical thinking work.
I get the impression that you don't understand the meaning of my opening post. You must make a choice to believe in God simon moon. You ask that question to anyone in the world and you will discover that it is quite simply true.
And abundantly obvious. But simple minded atheists would never understand it.
And a christian would never- and I do mean ever- stoop so low as to prove to you that there is a God.
Haven't you ever read your Bible?
Here, let me quote the appropriate passage to you -
I Peter 3:15 - But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect
See you in Hell, you false Christian!
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
