Clearly they are liars, as this one demonstrates:

Sure, to know you is to know inveterate liars,
as you post proves.

Really? and how do you know? where is your EVIDENCE?
Neither you nor Poor David Wrong have any

You have done a study of all atheist conversions?
WHere is the data published? B^]

Now that is CLEARLY a complete FABRICATION.
Even if you were PRESENT IN THE ROOM, you would not
be able to magically mind-read their MOTIVATION,
and they would not reveal it to you because then their
spouse could discover the fraud...
So HOW do you claim to know about this "SECRET INTENT"?
In this case, YOU are the fraud, not the atheist who has
realised what a comfort faith can be.
Lots of atheists wise up;
"the most momentous conversion in Western history was
that of Constantine I, Roman Emperor and later
proclaimed a Christian Saint. While his belief
in Christianity occurred long before his death,
it was only on his deathbed that he was baptised, in 337"
Socrates, on being condemned to death, responded
"The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways
—I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows."

Clearly, given some of his other -ve statements about the Greek Gods,
deathbed conversions DO OCCUR among atheists, even very famous atheists!
Q.E.D.
--
Ex- Atheist, now Prophet, Richard Dawkins claims a "superpowerful
intelligent and moral energy" entity, "like God", is plausible and
could have 'evolved' somewhere in the Universe "by an explicable
scientific progression of incremental evolution", (which no
atheist can explain). B^D
# "After two hours of conversation, Professor Dawkins walks far afield.
# He talks of the possibility that we might co-evolve with computers, a
# silicon destiny. And he’s intrigued by the playful, even soul-stirring
# writings of Freeman Dyson, the theoretical physicist.
#
# 'In one essay, Professor Dyson casts millions of speculative years
# into the future. Our galaxy is dying and humans have evolved into
# something like bolts of superpowerful intelligent and moral energy.
#
# Doesn’t that description sound an awful lot like God?
#
# "Certainly," Professor Dawkins replies. "It’s highly plausible that
# in the universe there are God-like creatures."
#
# He raises his hand, just in case a reader thinks he’s gone around a
# religious bend. "It’s very important to understand that these Gods
# came into being by an explicable scientific progression of
# incremental evolution."'
#
# Could they be immortal? The professor shrugs.
#
# “Probably not.” He smiles and adds, “But I
# wouldn’t want to be too dogmatic about that.”"

So, which atheist is going to explain the inexplicable,
unscientific, BELIEF in "these {atheist] Gods", with no proof
whatsoever, and show us the evidence of how, and where, God evolved?
