That's right. Don't do something foolish. Accept the evidence of nature around you that God exists. Then seek Him. He will be found by you when you seek Him. The Bible speaks of the salvation from death to eternal life that God offers you.
Instead focusing on your Faith, and the problem between us, you focused on replying to an atheist which you know doesn't have a belief system.
I think on that occasion you should have focused more on your faith.
Here's the answer. Romans 10:17: "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." In other words, read the Bible, or listen to it being read. That is how faith comes and is strengthened.
Right: that's thought.
I'll give you an answer as soon as I'll find a more complicated one.
Thank You
