I doubt you were converted. Most likely, you converted yourself, even if you don't realize it. I don't think anyone can be truly converted unless he or she has already taken the first step, which leads to being open to a different way of thinking. Conversion has to come from inside the person. Otherwise it will be false and will fail. Churches are full of people who had been "converted" to atheism and they are probably telling the world and themselves that they used to be an atheist, they were lost, and then they saw the light. LoisAnd to everyone here who says “Bah humbug, theists can’t be converted!", to put it bluntly, you are wrong. I was a theist, who was arguing with atheists, and they ultimately convinced me there was a flaw in my logic and that I needed to reexamine my position. Am I an exception? Maybe. Could it be that your approach of “You’re indoctrinated fools who believe in idiotic fairy tails like little kids and you should stop it right now" is counterproductive? That’s also highly likely.No, you're wrong and you are an exception. Taking the "in your face" approach to any argument is counterproductive and simply causes the theist to dig in his heels and spout the same attack right back at you. Remember that statistically we are still in the minority even in this country and espousing Dawkins to your theist neighbor is fruitless. They have been indoctrinated for years beginning with childhood and an open discussion concerning religious fallacies, misinterpretations of Biblical or Koranic scripture will rarely happen. You first have to break down the wall of faith and that has to come from within. You can point out discrepancies and plant the seed of doubt but firm believers will easily attribute it to some supernatural entity, i.e. Satan. I have no idea how you were finally convinced but you had to have an open mind to even begin to listening to an atheist argument. Changing someone's World view is next to impossible with a firmly established mindset and a support group such as a tight knit religious family and membership in a religious institution. Becoming an atheist separates you from these groups and as herd animals, we need that support and like mindedness. In your case as you stated "there was a flaw in your logic" but the majority don't see any flaws in a flawless god. Hence the term "blind faith". Cap't Jack
