I think I just converted someone on omegle

[forgotten observer]

I went on omegle as I was bored and ended up in a rather insightful conversation.
Our conversation was as follows (If anyone wants me to colourcode it or edit it with the "Quote feature" I'll try
Me:i

Stranger: M 17
Stranger: hi
Me:Hello m17 how are you?
Stranger: m gud
me: I prefer the m16 burst fire, quite accurate
stranger: whtz that?

stranger: ok

stranger: Philosophy
me: excellent are you religious?
stranger: yes
me: why?
stranger: Stranger: coz I have faith in god
me: Faith defined as belief without evidence which is the equivalent of assuming correct?
Stranger: ya you can say that
me: So you belief in god for no logical reason whatsoever?
Stranger: no logics required....i am taught to follow it

Hi,
I don't think a tiny-talk is enough to convert someone (except he was ripe and just needed the last push) who feels pretty comfortable just to belief what's been chewed for him.
Still you never know and maybe you've got him thinking ... or curious to stop on by.

Apropos 'converting': doesn't it imply moveing from one belief-system to another? And isn't the aim rather to become free from them all?

Tip for a quick 'color-quoting': use the browser search for e.g. 'me:' and highlight all results, then the line distinction is easy to make out.

Cool, I hope they come by LoR someday, it's a much better hobby than chatting about religion on Omegle.
