DISCLAIMER: If you are religiously sensitive, judgemental and cannot maintain a healthy discussion then move onto the next status, as this one isn't for you.

The questions are: How do you convince an Atheist to believe in God? Does it have to take an act of miracles? More importantly, if one does not believe in God, then is it right to judge him/her? Will s/he go to Hell?

Discuss!

UPDATE: I am not trying to convince anyone to believe in "God" lol... I am actually working myself into Atheism.. this is just a topic for discussion. Carry on!

How about leaving people alone and letting them be?

You'll have to do better than that.

Last week Anderson Cooper on cnn asked a gay guy if he thought he could get into heven.
I couldn't believe it. How can that pass as a news network??

Not really sure your point, but as an atheist, I will bite. It WOULD take a "miracle." I would guess that most atheists believe in science, data/evidence, etc., so it would have to be some miracle that is clearly scientifically impossible (hence leaving "god" as the only explanation).

Right to judge? Again, not sure the point here, but when is it really "right" to judge anyone?

Hell...LOL...literally the least of my concerns.

Are you implying that Atheists are mentally delusional or are you just comparing the end result answer which is "you can't"?

I am on a slow path towards Atheism. After being brough up Catholic and Christian for so many years, I am trying to grasp the fallacies incorporated within any religion. Thus, trying to compare certain groups' beliefs and opinions.

I still find it hard to believe that God would condemn over half the world's population to eternal damnation if he is such a loving God. I haven't quite figured that one out yet lol..

You can't convince science-based people this. However, you can make them watch the History Channel and learn to believe that God and the Angels were ancient aliens who seeded the earth. Then, they can believe in God, sorta, AND science.

Sorry. It's my latest crackpot theory of why History2 had four hours of Alien shows with wacky hair guy the other night.
Personally, I would never try and convince somebody to believe. It's all about personal experience, personal revelation. Even a lot of people who are raised to believe don't seem to have had the moment that convinced them that it's "real." I have and it was weird. Nuff said.
 
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Faith is not something to be admired.

Science the best method we have for learning how the universe around us works, until you can provide a better method, that's the one I'm sticking with, and there's no scientific evidence for a god to exist. In the end, religions claims are wholly unconvincing.
