RE: How can someone convert from Atheist to Religious

It's an interesting question.

As one of the many here who was raised ultra-religious, and have made the slow and laborious trek away from religion, I wonder: Can I imagine any scenario that would make me turn back?

I can think of a number of scenarios where I would probably fake it. If I fell in love with someone who was deeply religious, and felt that life wouldn't be worth living if I couldn't be with this person . . . I might. For money? The number would have to be more than 7 figures, but maybe.

But to actually RE-believe?? How does a person do that? Even if Jeebus was to come 'round and answer all of my questions personally, my mental state wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't be "faith" because I would have had some proof.
