As an "atheist" I believed that God most likely didn't exist, but I knew that to reach him in prayer I had to sincerely consider the possibility that I was wrong. I did reach him and he answered.

And I think perhaps you should be wary of prejudicing yourself against what other people think based on what conclusions you've drawn about them. Age does not indicate wisdom, and if you are dismissing what people younger than you say based simply on their age, you've got to clear your head.
Look at the context that was written in. You people are the most one sided people I have ever had contact with. You dump all over my beliefs like they are a joke and not worth the time to consider but when I throw you a little shit you start whining like little girls.
You - are - young. Just as I was when I thought like you. I have learned a lot since then and don't hold it against me if I think the same is possible for you all.

Should I then attribute this to your age, and say to myself, "Oh he's old, and set in his ways." I'd rather not, because no one's going to learn a thing.
Bullshit. What a stupid thing to say. One of the first things you said to me was that I couldn't use the Bible to show you what God was about. All I have spent my time talking about here almost since day one is what you believe, and although I am not particularly knowledgeable in science I know more about what you believe than you know what I believe. I'm reading Dawkins! [Expletive removed]

Is this more about the answers we merely desire, or about the answers that are actually the most likely truths to be true explanations about real reality in the universe?
More about the answers you merely desire.
