Rather, the repeated experiences of trying and failing to avoid the conclusion I did not want to arrive at certainly gave me the impression that I was not simply wrestling with my own thoughts but with something outside of myself. After my conversion, I understood that something to be God Himself.
Hi and welcome to the forums, mate!
Ok, now how do you know with all the experiences that it has to be god? How do you know you aren't suffering from delusion? Do you think it's possible that in your thirst for answers that you went for answers that seemed most appealing to you but were less truthful? Would you consider it possible that your 'want' desires an appealing answer over a more realistic one?
Why god?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
