Atheists: Will you take a test?
OK, here is a simplified version of the Athiest test.

1. You have to be an Athiest that has said "God does not exist". It doesn't work with agnostics, or a passive Athiest.

2. The most common mistake is you will say "God does not exist". Read the test carefully.

3. How the trick in the test works is by careful self-observation. The result is a observable psychological reaction within you. Its even creepier when you force yourself to do it.

TEST
----

All you have to do is say this out loud, forcably and with conviction:

GOD EXISTS!!!

Then clear your mind and observe your mental and emotional states.
---

The result of this is you will experience a form of observable mental or emotion disonance (ie. a sharp anger, hilarity, a strong apathy). In some people, they can't say it (ie. you accidently say "God does not exist" or your mouth freezes).

Report back, it'll be fun.

(16 out of 17 athiests refuse to take the test.)

Gooble, yeah, but what happened? Any delayed response?

Its not a proof that god exists. A little explaination: I've studies magick and demonology. Absolute athiests usually have "familiar spirits". If you do this, it disturbes the spiritual currents that you are attached to. Actually, the results are a lot nastier than I've outlined. However, it will be scientifically instructive to you, I think. Give it about 24 hours, and if you feel like reporting back about anything weird that happened, I think it would be instructive.

[In response to the question: "If I wasn't a 'true Christian' then, even though I believed I was, how do YOU know that YOU are 'true Christian' NOW?"]

Tabby Cat NOTW: "Christians don't give up. Regardless of any reason that would cause doubt, we hold to faith and choose to believe. Following Christ is not something to "try on and see if it fits". It is a life-long commitment: no matter what.

LoveChrist: "God convicts your heart,if you have ever really known God it is impossible to turn your back on Him"

Amanda F: "Obviously you wanted to believe but did not have faith or you would have never become an athiest. But now that you are so be it. Being a christian requires faith in God. He gives you a choice and you chose not to believe. "

Mars: "converting from Christian to Atheist is a huge step backwards.. you gone from having hope for tomorrow to no hope at all. from believing that God creating you.. to now believing in science being related to apes.. God created this world and all living things.. and science is trying to figure out how God did it.. but you can't put human knowledge above our creator.. that is why there are many things that science will never be able to answer"

spring_r: (in the midst of a LONG post) " I believe you were and still are a Christian, but you practice atheism."

seekfind: "If you were truly born again you would have a circumcised heart and a new heart that is sold out for God. The fact that you can leave the faith showed that you have not gone through this spiritual experience and know the reality of God." [a circumcized heart? That sounds painful...]
