Do your homework, bud. Most scholars now believe the evidence of authorship points to an unknown writer belonging to a Pauline community. Even so, think about your rationale: Human X claims to be divine. Therefore, X is divine. Like I keep repeating, you pace in circles elevating men to the status of God to justify their words as relating to God's authority over man.

Paul did not use any of the other books you mentioned to teach Timothy.

He full filled those promises to me.So, to answer the OP, you're basically saying that only atheists who haven't sufficiently thought about the arguments are liable to convert.
I looked at my orginal thread again, and do not see where I said "my brain exploded."
I'm inclined to agree since this is precisely what you and your ilk have repeatedly demonstrated.
