Don't worry about it. If they reject Him, go on to someone else.

You are wasting your energy. They may entertain you for a while, but it's less because they actually think you might be right and more to poke at you and see how fanatical you can become. (It's sorta fun to do that.) But after awhile, they'll grow bored of you and tell you to go away and stop bothering them. Plus, trying to convert them just reinforces everything they don't like about religious zealots.
Oh, yeah, and you have to have a LOGICAL argument supported by EVIDENCE. If you can manage to come up with that, then an atheist will at least give you the time of day. However, good luck on that one!

well, some questions really bring the bugs out of the woodwork. As to your concern, You can't lead anyone to Christ! You can pray for them and encourage them, but, the decision to seek forgiveness comes from them to God, you actually have nothing to do with it. Only God knows how much time an atheist, or you for that matter, has.

Don't bother. Maybe you should try letting them lead you towards logic and reason, rather than what we (atheists) see as superstition and rubbish.
Really though, just don't bother. The person doesn't want to be converted, and if they are at all serious about their atheism, they won't let you do it.
Why would a god who loves us so much punish us FOREVER!!!! for a few sins we might commit in this lifetime?....Think about it. You live maybe 80 years...but you are punished for ALL ETERNITY if you do anything bad? and a lot of the 'sins' are not even sins! (sex, for example.)
Edit: Or, get god to show himself to the Atheist...Give him/her undeniable evidence that god is real and I'm sure they will come around!

There i really no way. If a person belives in this kind of a practice then there is really nothing that you can do.
If its wishy-washy...Sometimes it takes like a life-affirming act to change something like this...very complex subject.
Dont push to hard cause then you will never get your point across. Seriously, just go with the flow. You might be suprised it may be just for the attention.
Hope this helps.

Are you trying to tell everyone that Atheists are going to hell or are you truly curious on how to 'lead an atheist to Christ'...?

Provide the atheist with undeniable SCIENTIFIC proof of God's existence. Your 2000 year old fictional bible will just be used to prop up a shaky table.

the bible has proved to us over again that there is no other God but christ Jesus. He is the most powerful and the most merciful God. The only God that can raise the dead. He created all living creatures and can destroy all in less that a second if he chooses to. It will be wise to fear him, honour him and acknowledge him alone as the supreme being. Heaven is real and hell is real. Let hin know these things and let him know that the merciful God loves him and is willing to forgive him watever sin he has committed [if he has] and he should trust him and belive in him

Im an atheist. If you want me to believe something, all you have to do is make it make sense. Since I am a rational person, if something is logical or can be proven with evidence, I'll have no choice to believe it in that case.
Good luck trying to make an invisible sky god with human traits and emotions and an offspring make logical sense.

The best thing would be to take Christ to visit the Atheist. That should do it.

Sorry, you cannot lead anyone to Christ. You can tell him what you believe, and that you hope he sees things your way one day. Ultimately, its up to the individual whether they believe or not.
