Even if the argument turned out to be completely fabricated or disprovable, did it at the very least draw you closer to believing the Bible is God's Word and all that such a belief entails?
If not, has there ever been an argument that you didn't know how to answer, or that surprised you against your expectations?
Not looking for "All Christian arguments are idiotic" replies. This is an honest question.
Some of the better pre-sup arguments can be very compelling, and very difficult to unpack. Ultimately though, that an argument is compelling is no indication of whether or not it is sound or valid. To be fair, my "current atheistic stance" on christianity is right by default.....so there's not really any room for argument, and there's only a black mark on apologetics insomuch as it has failed to convince me of christianity -because- it's wasted it's time trying to prove christ (or god) exists. My dog Pongo exists, that's not enough for me to bend the knee to Pongo.........
How about you, has there ever been something [insert competing religion here] said that made you doubt your "current theistic stance"?
