Per Vol XXIII of The Eclectic Review the only way to win the mind over to religion is by shewing it to be what

Um... lacking (as in reason or imagination or intelligence)

you're dumb for trying to flame that into a religious debate when it's really not. That's just what that guy wants.

It's not the religion itself. It's the birdbrains that think God is talking to them and telling them to do idiotic things. They're found in all religions.

Most kids brought up with parents who 'believe' will have that same belief drilled into them, either deliberately or they will just pick  up as they go along that this is the thing to do!\nIts only when they are old enough to question the situation for themselves that they can really make up their own minds.\nI made mine up when I was about 10 years old, it didn't really take a lot of brain cells to figure out that the whole deal was a load of 'tosh'!\nBefore I figured it out I was a church goer, in the choir,performed all the required rituals etc etc, what a load of rubbish , I wish I had been taught at school about all the different religions on the planet, I could have made up my mind a lot earlier.\nHow can I be sure that there is no God and you are equally certain that there is????\nThere is no way I (or anyone else) can explain that to you, I could ramble on about 'logic' you could give me quotes from one or two of your 'Holy books' and say meaningless things like " Look around you at the lovely birds and the bees"!   But at the end of it all there is no way I am going to change your mind, and no way you are going to change mine.\nFor a very long time I have been trying to work out a way or a 'happening' that would convince either of us, and I just cant.\nI would be very interested in any ideas?\nIt would be interesting to know what religion you decieded on when you had this 'supernatural' experience, and why you think any religion is required at all? Cant you just believe in God, isnt that enough without needing any religion or 'teachers' or 'leaders'??\nThats the main bit that annoys me all the different groups even within one religion, all going their own sweet merry ways!\nIf any one wants to believe in God, good luck to them, they must feel a need to! I dont feel the need to, and I certainly have no time at all for any religious nutter groups!

One based on experience rather than dogma which is the only kind of religion that has any worth. If it doesn't make you a better person here and now it isn't worth believing in.

a) Challenge everything you can, its the only way we learn. If part of my faith is proven wrong, then so be it.

set your mind on godly things, not on earthly things.
