I'm not sure what you mean by "shut his mind off".
I've been an atheist, been there, done that. Finding out that God existed was a true revelation to me and by the grace of God something I will never give up.
For someone to have tasted of the heavenly gift and then to turn away from it is to walk on dangerous ground. I don't know all that led to the state of mind he is in today but he is being led into a strong delusion. As for a test, our faith is always being tested. He shouldn't turn his mind off but resist all of the ideas that are contrary to Christ.
My question is...does he want to? Does he really want to hold onto his faith or push it aside and walk in unbelief? How can he deny the experiences that he had with God up to this point? Emotionalism?
As you can see, I've been convinced that what I believe is true and not by man but by God and His word. The truth that God exists and that He has been revealed to us through Jesus Christ is as real to me as this keyboard that I'm typing on. The journey which he is embarking on is doomed. There is no hope, no reason for morals, no purpose for existence, and if followed to its logical conclusion will lead to despair.
