I was an athiest born into an atheist family. I was really big on debating and I would often debate with Christians. I was a very good debater with a solid grasp of logic and reason and easily could win against any Christian debater. One day though I was in a heated debate giving an eloquent rebbutal of the kalam cosmological argument when the Christian said:
>Jesus is Lord
When I heard that all reason went out the window and I felt the holy spirit within. It was an otherworldly experience. I got baptized the same day.
