How can this happen?

It's not like any new evidence for God has been brought up recently, or will any time soon, yet there are plenty of new-age atheist arguments coming in every day.

If you're curious, just do a google search. There are plenty of former atheists out there who write about how/why/what led them to the faith.

(Or better yet, ask Kingpin about his own journey)

Almost all those stories are along the lines of:
"I was sinning daily, my life was a mess, then I asked god for help and everything turned around"

Mostly they are people who "hated god", or something along the lines of that, not people who have evaluated the evidence and made a rational and well-thought out decision based on that evidence.

Which is better:

To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.

The choice is yours.

There is God and there is man, it's only a matter of who created whom

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
