Would you ever change your mind God's existence and become an atheist?
1. I, like most people in the world, have no trouble believing that the supernatural exists.
2. I believe the events of the NT happened basically as described.
3. The person and teachings of Jesus are compelling and my personal experience affirms the truth of many of his teachings.
4. While I grew up in a Christian home and don't have a "drastic change" story, I have directly heard hundreds (if not more) testimonies how God has changed people's lives in drastic ways.
5. There are no successful arguments that show that believing in God is irrational, so I can't see myself changing my mind.
Would you ever change your mind about God's existence?

I generally do this privately as the open forum has been exhausted with the same old arguments and brings a lot of outside interference.
I would be interested to see the refutations and reasons for your beliefs, are they anything similar to mainstream Christian Apologetics or uniquely different?
Hail Satan!
