We were once like they are. "How can you believe and trust what you cannot see?" We must love them, and show them respect. And more importantly we must show them by example, not words that faith is life-changing. We can be vessels unto honor or dishonor. If by my life and my words, God can reach through me and bring only one person to Him, I will be pleased that I was able to be used by God.
But it is God Himself Who reveals the truth of Himself, yes or no? How can you see God without faith?

Rantings---who is attacking who? I promote love and respect for your beliefs, and you try to stir me up. What is the point? No windmill here to joust with.

Yes, It is the one God chooses, will realize Him. Faith, belief and everything noble is a gift from God. It is the reactions, reflections and rebuff which brings us sorrow or joy as the case may be.

Have you seen God? If you can only have faith by seeing God, then there must be no believers in the world, because no one has seen God. But then it is hard to see something that doesn't exist.
Why don't you practice what you preach, show the Atheists a bit of respect and lead by example not by word.

All of God's punishment so some distance has been with mercy. In different words, this is the fatherly chastisement that's quite the main loving element He can do to finest us to repentance and salvation. there is not any hell yet till after Jesus comes. that's extra of a purifying adventure than punishing. After the hearth has ate up each and every thing, then a clean earth is made. 2 Peter 3, Revelation 20, Malachi 4

If believers are believers because God decided to reveal himself to them, then atheists are atheists because God decided not to reveal himself to them. In that case, it's God's choice that makes atheists, not atheists themselves.

Jesus once said, "No one goes to the Father but through me, and no one comes to me unless the Father beckons."
According to Jesus's words, the first step is not MINE, it's God the Father's.
I'll be waiting.

Condescending and Delusional at the same time. That's amazing. How do you manage to pull that mixture off?
