I know there are few theists on here as compared to atheists/agnostics but I am interested to see what the major ways of the theists on here are.
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.
Belief in God is irrational by definition. It requires faith, and faith is the antithesis of reason.
