Will any of you atheists/agnostics ever consider converting to Christianity in the future? I knew two friends who were atheists but converted to Christianity but did not join any organized religion or church.
I can only speak for myself, and I can say no at this point in my life ... The reason for this is because I spent much of my life identifying myself as a Christian...
I'm not one given to "me too" posts, but my response would have been very similar to yours. The OP seems to assume we haven't already drank the Kool-Aid before. Many of us have -- quite possibly more than have not. So it is not a simple question of "finally" being convinced; often it is a matter of having to be re-convinced. Since the first time around was probably when we were little children who were simply trusting the adults in our lives, it is generally much harder the second time around, now that we're adults -- unless one left theism for reasons other than actual unbelief. Sometimes, people aren't unbelieving so much as angry / disappointed and if so it's possible to reconsider that response. This seems to be where most theists assume we unbelievers are coming from. But most of us simply. Don't. Believe. This is a very hard concept to grasp, apparently.
And we're only talking here about a particular god. Another concept that just doesn't seem to get across to Christian theists is that our unbelief in Jesus is just as palpable as their unbelief in Thor or Orin or Vishnu. A true atheists doesn't believe in ANY god(s) -- Yahweh & Son are just one of many.
Unlike one of the other posters here, who inexplicably suggested he would not believe even if there were evidence, I think actual evidence would do the trick for most of us, myself included. I have every reason to believe that, e.g., my wife, children, pets, and clients exist ... I would just need similar evidence for a god.

How could you possibly compare funny and silly pegan figures with Jesus ?! At least there are enough historical and scientific evidence of his existence, and he was a human who walked on earth. Sorry but cannot believe how some Hindus believe in "gods" that are cows, elephants, 6 hands and 6 feet, etc.

And just how you can't believe in their gods, others cannot believe in yours.
Also still have not seen enough credible "historical or scientific" evidence of Jesus' existence outside of biased religious doctrine.

Christianity is the world's largest religion and the dominant religion in the western world. More people believe in Jesus than any other historical person, and is the most influential man.
Billions of people follow Christ, including Muslims who believe he was an important prophet and messiah.
Google for evidence of his existence
