God didn't give me the talent of preaching to others and winning converts. BUt my cousin went to Bible college and has read the bible many times and can talk just about any atheist or agnostic into a corner. They may not convert by the time he's done discussing with them, but they will be speechless. They won't have any more "proof" that there is no God and no insults to throw that would do any good. Believe me, I've seen it happen. Once, when he was in Vermont, a girl came up to him and his friend while they were passing out biblical literature at a mall. She said, "Hey, I'm LESBIAN ANd I like it that way!" and they started having a debate and before they were done she couldn't find anything else to say in her defense, and actually asked for a piece of their literature to take home! Its unbelievable but some people like my cousin are just good on their feet. I know i could never be able to do that. I would just get too frustrated and probably end up insulting that person!

the problem you are having is believing that you can convert anyone at all. It is not we who do the converting, but we plant the seeds, others water it and God gives the increase. Let me get the scripture:
1 Corinthians 3:6
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
The Holy Spirit is the One who does the work.
Before you go out to witness, pray for those you will witness too or may come in contact with. Use your own experiences to show what Christ has done in your life, do it in love and most of all, you must let the Holy Spirit lead you.
You should not use scare tactics or be brash and harsh. Honey collects more bees than vinegar.
The way we behave is often more times than not the bible that people see and hear. Live close to God in your life and let His light shine out through your daily living.
First of all, you need to be saved yourself and in a good relationship with the Lord.

dear donna...you must believe yourself first in Christ Jesus before you even attempt to convert anybody let alone an atheist. you wont be able to convert anybody to follow Jesus by using mockery of the Christian faith.
btw, thanx for best answer..cant remember the Q you posted because some-one obviously reported it. LOL but its very understandable. i think that fact that so many of your questions havent been removed is proof of Christian tolerance.
God bless you donna....do keep inviting Mormons into your home though they too are deluded....oops LOL
with love in Christ Jesus

Most people who claim to be atheist in public are truly God fearing people behind close doors. But one thing they forget
God want us to accept him publicly. They are heading straight to hell.(hypothetically)If there is no heaven or no hell ,when we die we lose nothing gain nothing, but on the other hand there is heaven and hell, is it not better to do good and enter heaven not hell?. Something to think about Atheist!!.

Only way to convert an Atheist is to make the Atheist stop thinking or compartmentalize information. Use an evidential approach...obligatory brain surgery would help.

it doesn't matter how low I stoop I don't have that kind of power to give salvation. That would be between the giver and the asker only.

I had one tell me my brother died because I didn't believe in God. She then said, "Is that what you want for your children? For them to suffer and die of horrible illnesses and injuries? If not, you better stop denying Christ. If so, then God help us."
I had a less than enthusiastic reply for her which resulted in her leaving me the f alone. I'd tell her she's going to hell, but I have a feeling she's already there.

Make them feel loved unconditionally. Show them your love walk, and they will want what you have. I lived in a home with four atheists before.I planted seeds, and now I see a change happening.
