Quote:If you were an atheist and are currently a Christian, what made you change your mind? Seriously, I need to know. When I hear this from people I typically slam my face into my palm hard enough to hurt myself, because the responce is nearly always some kind of personal incredulity. There is never any evidence, and generally not even an argument, that ex-atheists have for their newfound belief.
I hear this all the time from religious people as well. It’s usually after some great tragedy left a void in their lives, they fill that void with religion. It’s comforting to know that someone is looking after you. Humans evolved to be social animals, so it’s comforting to know that we belong to something greater than ourselves.
