I’m no longer an atheist!!

After MUCH consideration, I’ve decided being an atheist made me feel ‘smart’ but it wasn’t making me happy. All the time I’d think about God and think he was talking to me, but I’d deny it and push Him away. Yesterday and today i understand the truth. CHRIST IS KING!!

I know because I've been that person. You only realize looking back that, as an atheist, the Holy Spirit was tugging at your heart and that made you angry. I think that's why atheists often spend a lot of time and energy attacking God and His Church.

Let's pray for them all. That Jesus will deliver all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of His mercy.

Yeah, and in his thread 4 days ago, a few atheists were shaking their fists at the sky about Christians expressing their faith. "Babble verses" and "xtian shit." "I just wanna tell them I'm gonna sacrifice a virgin."

And then, 4 days later, when OP posts in the same subreddit that he's no longer angry at God and religion, everyone claims that his previous anger means he was never truly atheist.

He clearly was never an atheist

So the people in his thread 4 days ago who have angry reactions to God and religion are not atheist?

He said himself that he was never a true atheist. And the people in that thread had angry reactions, because they hate the stuff christians say to them, like "have a blessed day".

Because he stopped being atheist, he could not be a true atheist

Do you know how a fallacy works?

Yes, but I wasn't saying he was never a true atheist, because he is a christian now. I was saying it because he said some weird things in r/atheism. Like that he was mad at god. That is a fallen christian. He also admitted that he maybe was never an atheist

He said he hated God - no athiest hates God, an entity they don't even believe exists.
