All In for JESUS

 

Former Atheist Shares How Richard Dawkins Videos Led Him to Go 'All In' for Jesus     by Tré Goins-Phillips  "...I did come to realize that the objections that I had to Christianity—including the arguments of the new atheists—really weren't strong enough. I didn't have any intellectual objections, any strong enough ones left. So all that I had remaining were actually just my very personal, emotional reasons for not wanting to come to faith." -Peter Byrom In Peter Byrom's story, famed atheist Richard Dawkins was the evangelist.  Byrom was born and raised in East Sussex, England, to a Christian family. He grew up nominally religious, but abandoned the vestiges of his faith when he left home for college. Duped by the lie that Christianity is incompatible with intellectualism, Byrom dissolved whatever lingering interest he may have had in God and quickly turned to atheism—a transition fast-tracked by a roommate who, like him, was raised to believe in God but had since turned away from his upbringing. The roommate, Byrom recalled during a recent conversation with CBN's Faithwire, was a fan of Dawkins and urged the new atheist convert to read the evolutionary biologist's book, "The God Delusion." Byrom quickly read the book and was intrigued by the aggressive approach espoused by Dawkins and others like him. "I was very taken by what Dawkins' definition of faith is," he said. "He said faith is believing something without any evidence. Now I know that's a false definition of faith—that's not what faith means. But at the time, I bought that."  It didn't take long, in fact, for Byrom to buy into the Dawkins dogma—hook, line, and sinker... Click here to continue reading and to watch Byrom's video testimony.
