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.
I lost faith involuntarily so I looked up many arguments for religion. None of them helped or made sense. The only ones that have any influence are the emotional kick in the gut, like saying that you will see someone again when after they die.
One reason that I hear other people repeatedly give for having faith is that they can't believe that there is something else or that life doesn't have an ultimate meaning. Contrary to what believers think, being an atheist is a humbling experience. This will sound like a contradiction and maybe it is but atheism is also empowering because I get to create my own meaning for my life.
