Hi OnlyNatural,

Matthew Wrote: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.

Is there a different way you can phrase this? Then we might understand you better, because it's a bit nebulous and confusing as a reason for believing in God.
That is because you are misunderstanding me to be giving a reason for believing in God. The question originally asked was "Why did you convert (i.e. become a Christian)?" not "What reasons led you to the conclusion that God exists?" If you want to know my answer to the second question, it is that I reject the premise that God is the conclusion of an argument.
