They're not open to our way of thinking so just let them be already. They will never have the capacity to believe in things they can't see or explain and will just anger us. Talking to these people is meaningless and a waste of time. Spend time focusing on more important things like watching paint dry.

And don't get mad when they call you stupid, ignorant, dilusional, mentally ill etc. You know what you are. Let them think we're living in the matrix and continue to live your life.

BTW - I don't force my beliefs on anyone. It's not something I jump at doing..Believe me, i've got better things to do than to try to change an atheist mind.

The same time Christians stop trying to preach to people and converting them.

Maybe atheists need to learn not to argue with christians and that it will anger us. Why should i hold any of your views with an open mind when all athiest want to do is show us how God can not exist.
Further more you have the gall to say "They will never have the capacity to believe in things they can't see or explain"
That is the very definition of Faith. I think you need to get your views straight

The best arguement for an nor believer of "GOD is PRAYER". Nothing else will help. So Brothers & Sisters in Christ pray not only for the "unbelievers" but for everyone on earth. Because guess what, God loves "you" anyway & it ain't nothing you can do about it. Praise God. Now What a mighty God we serve!!!!!!!!!. Always remember that God got the whole world in the palms of his hands & He is in control to do of"all" things, because all things belongs to Him that means atheists too. He will not force himself on you, its about choices & you have that choice, you have to want it & you have to recieve it. Thanks be to God his promises are for you & I. Guess what this includes the atheists also once again. This is it Romam 14:11 "Every" knee shall bow to Him & "every" tongue shall confess to GOD. Keyword " Every"thats all I need to know in the "end" God has the last word not unbelievers, so therefore Christian you do not have to figure out anything because it is written & the plan, figuring out, however you choose to phrase it, the bottom line is you've been "warn" just take heed & let God order you steps so that you & I can be that example to those 'unbeliever & doubters' we can't fix it, but I know who can, do you? Be Blessed all God children.

As a Christian you only have to spread His word and not force someone to believe in Him...
It has to come from within... FREE WILL!!!
They, Christians, will stop arguing with atheist when they realize that it has to come from inside...
I agree with you...
Talking to atheists is meaningless and a waste of time.
But isn't it always that way when you just talk TO someone???
So talk with them and others instead...
There's a difference between talking TO someone and talking WITH someone...
Keep that in mind...
Atheists can come to their senses and believe in Jesus when time is there... When it comes from within...
I've seen it happen for several times...
Keep spreading His word... Not forcing...
And the rest will follow...
(A Christian)

Well, since you just asked two questions, which got very intelligent and detailed explanations from lots of atheists, and you've just deleted them both, I'd assume you are actually the one who does not have the capacity to open your mind.
I'd call that intellectual cowardice.

Then why are you here?

Some people just like to argue. Its not about getting other to see things their way its the feeling of getting to state their opinions.

I somewhat agree with you, except the not trying to explain. That is true most if not all the time. But if God opens a door and we fail to sow the seed, then their blood is on our heads. If they refuse to listen, then their death is on their heads. At least thats what they teach in the Southern Baptist Church I go to. God bless.

Each Christian has to go down that road personally. Most are so arrogant that they think their 'witness' will succeed where others have failed.
One way to look at it is that you're providing great entertainment for the atheists. Jesus would probably think that's nice of you.

PLEASE DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing would make non-theists happier than if you people would stop preaching and trying to force your mythology on us.
PS: Yet here you are, sweethart, not only attacking atheists, but adding addendum after addendum. Face it, it's not in your nature to shut your trap and keep your nose out of other peoples' business. Your conduct on this very question is enough to see that.
