Somethings missing from this woman’s testimony. Anyway I hope she’s sincere.
That an atheist would find herself embracing the Church headed by Pope B16 is proof that Fellay is right. /sarc
...I guess you were right. (The concept of) Truth was a gateway drug...
This is the key. Christ's opposition has been asking "what is Truth?" for two thousand years, and in doing so have ceased to believe that anything is true. Because of it, they have nothing to offer their followers but lies and emptiness. We can pray that more of them tire of it and seek the Truth.
Sooooooooooo much is missing from EVERY alleged atheist’s testimony. That’s the point - atheism is incompatible with human personhood.
Very interesting. In 20 odd years of being a part of the “skeptic” community I believe this is the first time I’ve heard of an informed atheist (as opposed to your garden variety disbeliever-by-default) converting to Christianity.
Oh well, she’s young and has proven she’s amenable to reason. We’ve got plenty of time to get her back ;)
The new atheists are going to hit her hard. They don’t tolerate dissent very well.
I hate to sound cynical, but she didn’t mention Christ.
not gonna happen....she belongs to Christ now.....reason and thoughtfullness, and logic led her home.....which is a huge part of the christian faith to begin with......
That was my thought as well. As much as they deny it, atheists practice a rigid orthodoxy of their own, and have a tendency to come down hard on apostates who leave their fold.
You have no idea what she mentioned, beyond what the author and editor of the piece conveyed.
Obviously.
Even Saul became Paul.
Finally a positive news story
Praise the Lord!
:^)
The skeptic community cannot win over informed reason. They (sic) do not have the tools.
The skeptic community must be pretty self-limiting. I have heard personally from and read the accounts of plenty of people, literary and otherwise, who went through exactly that conversion.
It's getting late and We, the Lost, need to be called home.
Yes he did. However, when Saul became Paul, it was accompanied by such statements:
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." - Galatians 2:20
"...as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." - Philippians 1:20, 21
There is no doubting the power of conversion. The question being asked HERE is: Is this woman converting to a Savior...or a System that has "God" in it...
If she is converting to a SAVIOR...the halleluiah! If she is seeking a system because she now believes in God...but is not ready to devote her life to a Savior...then she STILL doesn't get it and will still spend eternity separated from God in a place called Hell.
“That was my thought as well. As much as they deny it, atheists practice a rigid orthodoxy of their own, and have a tendency to come down hard on apostates who leave their fold.”
She sounds like an old school atheist who believed in morality and basic human decency, just without G-d. The new atheists have no use for such things and they will go down cursing and screaming.
