What are some examples where you have turned the other cheek?

As an Atheist, I have some advice.
If someone doesn't want to convert, don't bug them. IF WE REFUSE TO BELIEVE, LET IT BE. Don't keep trying to convert us, that's probably why we don't convert.
Most Atheists aren't swayed by money, either. A religious decision shouldn't be for sale.

Keep praying for them. My job is to witness, not to convert people. The Holy Spirit will convict them.
I help one girl from Thailand in the past. Not trying to convert her or anything, I just felt bad for her baby (she didn't know who the father was, and the baby was so sick at that time ). She decided to come to church by herself, but somewhere along the way, she thought that if you believe in Jesus, somehow you financial issues will be solved. I told her that Jesus is not a great ATM in the sky, you swipe you card and the money will fall from the sky. If she wants to become a believer she has to change her way of life (I found out she was a prostitute), and live a holy life. It's not just for her, but also for her baby that she abandoned most of the time. She denounced Jesus, and never heard from her again, even though she left her lawyer bill on my address. I'm not sorry that I helped her. I feel bad for her and her baby. I just keep praying, that someday she find the truth.

Friend - By your actions you are known. My examples are mine, you must make your own as its what is in our hearts individually that shows the love of God. GB

you can not make anyone believe.
live your life and be a good person. look at how jesus lived his life. he didn't try to make anyone believe anything. he lived simply. he healed, talked, and taught without ever being rude or mean to anyone (not counting the money changers in the temple).
that is how you show your love.

You prove God's existence to them. Can you force people to comprehend faith?

say , "just think about it" and leave them to decide...what is right for one, may not be for everyone, insisting one believe your way is not Christian...
