Atheists who have converted to theism?

[henryp]

Right but my issue was with him saying he was an atheist but could not see how morality could exist without god. That to me is a contradiction, you cannot believe that god doesn't exist and at the same time believe he is responsible for your moral choices.

I think the contradiction you are identifying may be the reason why he discontinued his disbelief.  If you can't get rid of your belief in morality, and you think morality can only come from God, you have to go back to believing in God. 

That's why I was pointing out that it is not instantaneous.  While tearing down your belief system, you're going to, for a while, believe a lot of contradictory things until you analyze those beliefs.  Eventually if you're working on it, you'll either dump the contradictory things, or be forced to reassess the initial change. 

It's not uncommon for people to believe contradictory things for a while, even knowingly.  You just have to toss the two contradictory ideas into the mental thunderdome, see which comes out on top, and then reevaluate.  But that can take days, months, years, decades, or never happen.  So the idea, to me, of having contradictory beliefs for a week seems like a non-issue.
