From atheism to Christianity? How so?

[Strongbad]

Hello there,

You are saying you don't believe I was ever an atheist because you don't see how any true atheist could ever come to a belief in God? It happens all the time. Here are a couple of lists of more well known people who converted:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_con..._nontheism
http://www.ranker.com/list/former-atheis...s-atheists

I would ask every person on every list you could produce the same set of questions I asked you. Responding to the questions with "well, here's a bunch of other people who converted from atheism to theism" isn't really a response at all, is it?

I am tempted to drudge up the no true scotsman fallacy on you, strongbad.

Good catch. It is quite apparent from your subsequent responses that you were in fact a "non-theist", and I mistook you to be an atheist.

(side note: What about all those people on the lists that converted to Judaism or Islam? Did they just "interpret" their "experiences" incorrectly? Because as you now know from all of your "research", Christianity is the only true religion, right?)

Well, they were experiences that touched my soul and transformed my inner being.

Atheists don't believe the claims that "souls" exist, but you believed your "soul" was touched BEFORE you became a theist? Something smells fishy in here...

"Personal experience" "personal revelation" "it is impossible for me to demonstrate that God exists to you unless God has also revealed it to you." "certain revelation" "Everything that has happened since then has confirmed my experience"

All anectdotal. All standard Christian apologetics. All bullshit.
