I would recommend this quote from Daniel C. Dennett, a professor of philosophy at Tufts University.
As for myself, I couldn't possibly be convinced in any way, shape or form. I am a logical thinker and I need substance and tangible qualities of something to believe in it. I believe in evolution. I have taken both cultural and physical anthropology classes to strengthen my viewpoints. I grew up a christian, but I had internal struggles with what I truly believed because I didn't want to conform to what everyone else thought. If you didn't have the same viewpoints as the rest of the members in your church, you were not made to feel welcome. I always wondered why the christians seemed so self-righteous, we have the one true god, he is the creator, he lays out the path that you will walk on for the rest of your life.....etc, etc....., blah, blah, blah...well, there are a lot of other religions in this world as well that have a different view. Whether it be Buddism, Brights, Satanism, Taoism, Paganism, Momormonism, Catholocism, all have a different view of how things were created and what our underlying purpose in life is. Are we to judge the rest of the free thinkers out there because they don't have the same "god" as we do? Hmmm....
