Letter from an Athiest

[Lynn73]

But few atheists are this open and accepting. I can safely say most would demand you get the bible out of their face, accuse you of shoving your religion down their throats and file a law suit. We can lead the lost to the gospel but we can't make them believe.

My thoughts also. I've visited an atheist board recently and there are Christians who come in and share the truth (albeit not always in the best manner) and all the atheists do is mock or shoot down whatever arguments you present. They ask endless questions and make endless allegations against God being loving, citing plenty of examples. You can't make them believe. And I don't think running through the streets begging people to accept Christ is going to work much either.

I've found that the manner in which you approach the question makes a huge difference. I do a lot of witnessing over at Internet Infidels, and many of the people there are very receptive to hearing about Christianity... But you have to avoid the tired buzzwords.
