That's just an evidenceless assertion too. You can't possibly think that I as an atheist believe those things aren't true or you have no understanding of atheism. If you do understand that atheists do believe that, and knowing that I grew up in the church and have read the bible, and heard your arguments before, why would you assume I would change my mind now with no evidence presented other than a stranger on the internets word? I think that you show that there is no evidence for god by your arguments completely assuming that I should accept things without evidence.

Fair. You’ve heard it before. I’m not going to keep pressing. Let me say what I actually think. I don’t expect a comment thread to change your mind. Arguments rarely do that for anyone. They didn’t for me. What changed me was Christ Himself, and that was not the end of an argument. It was the end of running. You grew up in it. You read the Bible. You met the people. And some of those people cost you a home when you were young. I’m not going to pretend that didn’t matter. It mattered enormously. The God I know would not have shut that door on you. The men who did were not showing you Him. I’m not asking you to agree with me. I’m asking you to know that you are seen, that what happened to you was wrong, and that the door Christ opened was never the door those men slammed. You don’t owe me a response. I just wanted you to hear it from one of us who knows the difference.
