Hey guys, could you please try to persuade me God is real? I'm a dead set atheist who has a bunch of evidence he isn't real. Give me one slither of hope he is and I will be "saved".
First of all the problem isn't evidence, no amount of fossil or old/young earth debates will convince you. You do not want God, I know this because I did not want God either at one time. Honestly I was the most certain of all this "fake religion stuff", at my most ignorant. I "KNEW" this "silly campfire story/old school comic book" stuff was made up by the power elite to control the weak minded, yet knew absolutely NOTHING about Jesus or what any of them claimed to believe in.
My advice is stop this whole "prove God to me" nonsense that will never work and YOU seek Him. You go to the core of your self and look into the evidence, there is all kinds of it. The biggest thing you need to realize is that all truth is not scientific truth. The biggest deception I hear today is the philosophy that says "unless it's proven scientifically then it's not true". I feel atheist like to stay in their nice safe paper and theoretical world, and forget about life experience, philosophy, human relationships, moral decisions, and so much of life that is just not considered in scientific study, and rightly so, that's not what science does.
The fact you are here does show at least some interest in the subject though. I'd even go as far as to say God may have you here, His Spirit pulling on your heart, but you may just be board and want to mock, who knows but God? That is a BIG difference in what kind of atheist you are compared to what I was. I would have never wasted 1 second of my short life "debating" what I thought were dumb, brainwashed, weak minded lemmings about an imaginary creature. I really believed what I said and lived it out in that aspect. So sure, so ignorant. He is the only one that can "prove" himself to you, you have to seek Him, we can't seek Him for you. You are here though, and you are asking some kinds of questions, but the wrong ones in my opinion.
