You doubt he was an atheist before he became Christian? Was he Muslim? We are all atheists before we get convinced of a god. So he's probably right..

@Scottjon Dansteve LOL. You know you can know about Jesus and God and still be an atheist? If you don't accept the god claim, you are by definition an atheist. Do you know the word? In pretty sure he was an atheist before becoming a Christian. Why even doubt that. If part about not heard of Jesus, yes, that's an obvious lie. But it's irrelevant in the context of being an atheist..

@Scottjon Dansteve you're the special kind of stupid, aren't you? My BFF. Grow up, kiddo.. I never said the guy was honest and didn't lie. The part where he said he never heard of Jesus sounds like a lie. I already said that. Read the OPs first sentence. That's what I was commenting on as it's totally incorrect. The caller said he was an atheist before becoming a Christian. OP says that's a lie or result of brainwashing. That's BS, as I pointed out. The fact that the caller is dishonest about never knowing about Jesus before, I already agreed on several times. Why do you bring it up? You're focusing on the wrong part of the claims..

I understand my urges, have much greater control over my responses to them, no longer despise myself, and have crystal clear direction for helping people in ways I never would have considered before -- ways that will actually make a real difference in people's lives.
