What motivates theists to come here?

[LadyForCamus]

1) What are your main reasons for coming to this forum? What do you hope to achieve?

Testing my faith and nerves against the odds; maybe somebody disprove it for me? 
I hear that many have quite good reasons behind disbelieving, so why not discover my options?

Another reason is the society I come from, it lacking freedom of speech and freedom to discuss religion out in the public.

A) What kind of techniques have you used to try and achieve your goal? 

Getting close to the people I see decent, and give their opinion a hearing ear. Maybe they'll open my eyes to something I missed.

B) How successful do you feel each of these techniques has been?

Pretty good; except for some anti-theists here and there, that make the experience harder and more challenging.
But the nice people I knew truly outweigh the bad.

C) Are there any other techniques you can think of that you may use in the future?

Face to face discussion (not debate).

TBH Atlas, I don't really see how you have tested your faith at all since you've been here.  You seem to avoid engaging in direct, thoughtful discussions related to your religious beliefs in favor of poetry writing and telling atheists they are going to hell.  In order to "test" your beliefs, you have to be willing to listen to other people, no just preach. This is my perception, anyway.  Maybe others have had different experiences with you. But I still think you're a very nice guy, if it's worth anything to you. ?
