I’m an atheist. So why can’t I shake God?

[Cecelia]

I would say everyone in their heart knows God exists, and some are better than others at suppressing that. Some are angry at God, and some need more evidence before they accept that subconscious belief. This is why I will never give up pushing the information learned by others through near death experiences. Even if you don't agree and think they are hallucination, the lessons they learned and information they brought back is too important for humanity, and the individual to ignore.

Came across this interesting article, of how the world's most famous atheist before Dawkins and Hitchens came on the scene came to the conclusion late in life that theism makes more sense.

How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind

*Sigh* Not this garbage again.  No, everyone does not "know in their heart" that God exists.   That's a ridiculous thing to suggest.  Your NDE's are absolutely meaningless because they all point to different things, and have plenty of alternative explanations.

Also the conversion of a single atheist to Deism isn't very convincing.  Especially since there are many flaws that led Flew to his Deistic conclusion.  That certainly doesn't show we all have "God in our Hearts".  Flew was at one time a Christian too, so the concept of God was certainly not foreign to him. 

There's plenty of known and unknown atheists who converted.  None of them had good proof of god (or else they'd be extremely rich and extremely famous and have a Nobel Prize by now).  People often look for ways to explain things they can't.  Some are satisfied with the answer that a wizard did it.  I can only imagine where we'd be today if that answer was accepted by everyone.  I imagine science would be set back a thousand years or more.
