Maybe not smaller word exactly, but words that they can more easily relate to their own circumstances.

i do agree that the word choice that Christians use is sometimes a little too much for someone who is not well read in the bible.its not at all that unbelievers are any less/more intelligent than believers its an issue on what the person is read up on.
some people are read up on science some on the bible and some both.not saying this to sound condescending, but when you talk to someone about something there not read up on your need to speak inclusively with imformation that people already generally know without reading the bible.

Smaller words???? 'Amen' only has four letters. Every group has their own terminology, it's perfectly understandable if you know what it means. I could quote some scientific words to you that a lot of non-believers would understand and believers wouldn't ... necessarily.

I have always found the Christian message preached on Yahoo very easy to understand: "you are all going to hell"
Do you know any shorter [not smaller] words than those?
Does Mummy know you are on the internet being rude to the grown ups?

I'm sorry, what did you just say? Just because their not of your faith doesn't mean that their slow and ignorant. You don't need to use smaller words. Wanna know why americans refuse to convert to christianity? Because of "christians" like you. I don't know if you're trying to be a smartass, but even if you're not, you're making yourself sound like a prick.

Nope, the non-believers should should smaller words so the Christians understand. I think your question is pointless to be quite honest.

It is a given that a Xtian would have to use smaller words to anyone is it not, an unused mind typically doesn't use big words.

There is a well documented inverse correlation between intelligence as we measure it by modern standards, and religious belief. In other words, the smarter you are, the less likely you are to be religious.
So, if you know what an inverse correlation is, you are well on your way to freeing yourself from the bonds of religious indoctrination. :)

No,,,, unless that is the only way to get to others...All are different and learn different ways...,I think anyone who is curious and wants to learn and are looking for ways will find them and the Christians will see they are needing more ways of teaching them even if it means using sign language or learning a new language to help them,,,,

Why bring out the proverbial Harp....by bringing out smaller words, to as you say non-believers, will not attract them to revert to Christianity...Leave people to their own belief...then we are all Happy Chappies!!

I don't know how to put things into to big words. So I am pretty plain and easy to understand. Ye must be born again.
