I have found that there are atheists that will challenge you on your faith and those that don't care enough or are so ignorant of biblical views that they never say boo.Who question you on how you base your beliefs on faith and not actual facts? Cause I'm having that problem in another topic and I feel like I'm not a strong Christian when they tell me that I'm basing my faith on a bunch of lies and I can go to the library and find out they're right and my faith feels so weak. I love Jesus and I want to have strong faith in Him,.. but it's making me question and doubt myself of the possibility that they might be right and I'm scared of losing my salvation again.
It's usually the ones that are argumentative and aggressive in trying to prove you wrong.. that I find are actually concerned, worried, and questioning their own view.
They are not so much attacking you and your view.. but are being spiritually challenged in their life and fighting their own conflict.
Humans, IMO, only argue about things that really concern them. Well, I don't waste my breath on things that I have no interest in.. Most atheists won't even care what you believe... they are just happy in their belief and allow you to be happy in yours... It is of no concern to them.
But... take a non believer who is in your face, aggressive and argumentative.. like they are offended that you believe what you do.... now.. there is someone who is more than an atheist... They are personally fighting the battle of their heart.
Friends of my family are strong Christians. One son is a solid believer. The other son is very argumentative in trying to prove that there is no God.
I have found it much easier to convince someone who doesn't believe in God.. that there is a God..
Than.
Trying to argue with someone who knows there is a God... who is trying to convince themselves that there is not.
