What would it take to change your mind?
#19
RE: What would it take to change your mind?
I think that basically you can try to convince a theist. And you might have some effect. The questions you ask and also the arguments you give might help convince them to become atheist. But they still have to be compelled by the arguments. And if they're not, they're not.

I think you can try, and you can have an effect, you can help - on some people at least - but if it won't convince them then it won't convince them. Its either extremely difficult or impossible to convince some people I believe. I agree with you - but I think that it is also possible for theists to be convinced. Some can be convinced.

I mean perhaps an example would be Converts Corner at RDF. Some people are convinced - of course if they'd not convinced their not convinced. But I think it seems that its possible for a theist to be swayed by arguments in one book, or by one person, enough to be convinced. I think you can go more than just asking questions but, yes - there are many people who just won't be convinced.
