It's obvious you are very conflicted at the moment. I think part of you really wants the religious claims to be true, for emotional reasons, and so you don't then have to consider you may have been wrong for such a long time. I think this desire is making you hop back and forwards between the atheist and the believer, between examining the evidence and feeling the bible must be true.
I'm not trying to influence your decision, only you can make the journey. It doesn't matter to me whether people become open atheists or not. I'm just trying to give you some more points to think about. Like I said, I may be wrong
Thanks rob but you have to understand that god makes more sense to me logically than emotionally. The number one emotional thing driving me has been discussed already in another thread. In the end I'll probably come out of this as a deist. But if people want to argue the bible with me then I want them to answer my questions logically. Not just, "you only read the scriptures you want" or "you don't even understand what you're talking about"
