Reasons to believe or disbelieve are personal. So if you don't see a reason to believe something, that applies to you alone. It doesn't apply to the other person, by virtue of the fact that they believe in it. That brings us back to the original question. If all you do is look for ways to confirm to yourself what your views are already, can you convert a theist that way?
