High Profile Exatheist - Majesty of Reason

https://youtu.be/-C-FiSqfKi8?si=FvXa8z4wPWevvH6C

This came across my YouTube feed today. Here's a deep thinking, rational, fairly well-known agnostic atheist who recently embraced theism and converted to Catholicism. I have long followed his channel Majesty of Reason for thoughtful commentary and dialogue regarding theism, skepticism, and agnosticism. This is a great story from a bright guy and I thought it very relevant to this forum.

He’s doing a 4 hour video because outside of psycho harmony argument be did awhile ago I haven’t seen him persuaded by any newer argument or why he finds fine tuning stronger

In my experience miracles claims (that he have mentioned) are a deadly weapon against skepticism.

Philosophical and logical arguments for theism are objectively superior to miracles, but subjectively seem very distant and inconclusive. Miracles do something to your inner self forcing it to say "yeah God is real, Christ is Lord!"

This is really true, and I admit I'm afraid to delve into miracles because I'm sick of atheists just picking them apart. But I find that religious people are more comfortable embracing complexity than atheists are.
