Originally posted by SuzianneI lost my belief in the claims that Christians make about the divinity of Jesus and the nature of their God ~ I had no "choice" in the matter ~ and I could not continue to say I believed these things when I realized I simply did not? Do you think you could somehow persist with your Christian beliefs ~ as a matter of "choice" ~ even if you realized that you no longer believed what the Bible claimed about supernatural things?
Did you "not believe" in Jesus as the Savior of Man while you were a Christian?
Then I submit that, eventually, you chose to believe something you previously did not believe, namely that Christianity was false.

2 atheists + 2 theists = "4 debates" + "1 theological dispute" + "1 chat down at the pub" = 6 debater activities.

It wasn't Frank Sinatra.. it was Paul Anka.
