And did you do your own research on all the proof of God the op raised?

I can almost certainly say that you did not read that article, because if you did, this would not be your answer.

Are you sure you're an atheist because you arrived at it by your own thoughts, or are you an atheist because Dawkins is an atheist?

Are you a Christian because you arrived at it or because people in your family and society were Christians. If you were born in pakistan you would be Muslim. In China Buddhist. In Japan atheist.

I am a Christian today because I arrived at the fact that a GOD exists purely by thought processes. How I was able to differentiate the fake from the real is a whole new topic. I do not boast, anyway. The LORD mercifully drew me to Him.

The above bolded is a hasty generalization, especially when you consider that some people born into those countries and into those belief systems are Christians today.

Don't you think Buddhism is the true way to God.
Why do you choose Christianity?

Of what use is it if I begin to explain to anybody why Jehovah is the true GOD when such a person doesn't believe that any GOD who created and sustains this Universe exists?

Brother, do you believe that a GOD exists who created and sustains this Universe?

Are you tilting towards empiricism? What is knowledge? Is knowledge obtained only by studying physical things?

Your God does exist, BUT just that it's the very one you created with your very minute knowledge base.

Just as spiderman exist in a better scripted fictional story book, than the one that created God idea.
