If they were all true than 20 years ago the US would have been populated by Atheists who converted. It's a selling tactic used by con men. I used to be like you but now I am so much happier after discovering the truth, give it a try. Forgive me, but I'll pass. I also don't find the bible to be at all convincing that the supernatural is real.
This is the Converts Corner. Do you see the atheist that used to be theists posting here as doubtful? I don't. I don't think that you see as many atheists turned theists as you might suspect, I only think you resent them. Lets be realistic. Atheists are the minority. Militant atheists the minority of that minority. Theists are typically uninformed on the subject of the Bible, and disinterested in it. It's a customary traditional socio-political interest. There is no Christian nation, and there never has been, but in the U.S. the religious idiots rule the roost because they have the majority in a democratic society that doesn't work. The atheist concern in the West is political and social. Not a supernatural or scientific issue.
