Think quickly all who have posted in this thread:

To those considering themselves Athiests - have you ever convinced a believer in any religion by asynchronous communication of any of your tenets?

To those who consider themselves to be believers in something that is unfathomable to the human thought process - have you ever convinced a non-believer in this type of asynchronous communication in any of your tenets?

I simply don't think this is a fruitful or meaningful way to have this 'conversation'.

It's my opinion that quoting scripture to those who don't trust it is rather pointless.

It's also my opinion that quoting men of scientific fame on what they have stated on this matter also is rather pointless.

Matters of belief in a God or even the rejection of such ideas are, in my opinion, both matters of faith - the only difference is in what/which/whom the individual places their belief and faith. I'm using this particular definition of faith in Merriam Webster: "strong belief or trust in someone or something"
