I am really glad this conversation is remaining rational and respectful of each others views.

Speaking of rational, if god became man and visited earth and proved his divinity, the people who were there to witness it would not have faith, they'd have proof, and therefore faith would be invalid for them.
Also, how can someone "choose" to believe? That's like choosing to like french fries. Atheists are not obstinate children refusing to do their homework or clean their room. Most of them have searched internally and have found no faith, not that they ignore the faith they do have.
