Has Anyone on R&S Actually Converted Anybody Into Their Religion/School of Thought?

If your like me, I secretly love a good religious debate in real life but I don't go looking for them. So I hang out here to play in the sandpits. And you, me, everybody can argue til we're blue in the face about religion...nobody really knows for sure at the end of the day so there will never be any resolution imo...

But has anybody here actually succeeded in winning someone over?
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Agnostic, Athiests whatever you may be
Don't get me wrong, I'm not out trying to convert anyone either, especially here, but only in the process of debate, say something that really gets the other person's wheels turning

I don't believe I have converted anyone to my system of thought, nor do I try. I'm quite sure I've given some people something interesting to think about, and to contemplate, which is all I try to do.
I'm like you, and many others, I love a good face to face debate about religion, and spirituality. I've got a few friends who like to get together, and debate, on a regular basis. Most of us are of different enough opinions, to cause an interesting evening. It's lots of fun, and very invigorating, and constantly causes me to continuously evaluate what it is I believe, which, I think, is a very healthy thing for all of us to do from time to time.
Thanks for the question.
Peace!
