Why do you believe?
I want to be very very clear here. I'm not asking you to try to prove god. I'm only asking what it is that makes you believe even if it's no more than I always have.
For atheists who once believed I ask the same question:
Why did you believe?
And I add a second question:
What made you stop believing?
Let's say you are hungry and you have two possiblities there, eating your own crap or a nice pile of spaghetti bolognaise.
Easy isn't it.
False dichotomies are not going to work. Even if you figure out it's the "spaghetti", instead of all the other choice foods, you could spend your entire life debating over which brand of spaghetti is the right one.
