I you see it as "harmful and disgusting" to use the Law of God, then it reveals the nature of your heart, that you hate God and His truth.
An Atheist cannot be farther from God, they hate God.
How does it square with you that the Vatican (and its observatory which played an important hand in its development) and numerous Christian scientists support the Big Bang Theory? Keeping in mind that these are very intelligent Christians who have taken a HARD look at the evidence as it was presented."Imagine, if you will, a print shop containing many reams of paper, gallons of ink, and thousands of sets of type reproducing over and over the twenty-six letters of the alphabet and the numbers zero through nine. Due to a gas leak, one great explosion occurs in this shop. Ink, paper, and type are hurled randomly and violently in all directions. When the dust settles, the smoke clears, and all components come to rest, the result is all thirty volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica in order with no misspelled words or grammatical errors. Incredible?
And yet atheists demand we believe that the universe, infinite in size and complexity, incredibly orderly in function, composed of over one hundred chemical elements in virtually limitless combinations, is the result of a "Big Bang" produced by mindless energy eons ago. Our souls cannot afford to play on such childish, irrational faith."
Atheism IS a faith. But evolution is not. The modus for the creation of the world is ALSO not a faith. Equating atheism with evolution/BBT is inappropriate and is done simply because there is an idea that atheists all believe in evolution, therefore, they are the same. They are not. Atheists also support plate techtonics; and Christians support plate techtonics. Equating a faith with a scientific theory, is misguided.See, they may deny this up one end and down the next, but Atheism is a faith. A belief in something they think happened. It is a very hopeless feeling faith too. Here is an example another person had:
This is an inaccurate statement; not least of which because science has no goal in proving the bible as correct. Science has proven a lot of things in the Bible as incorrect as well. The problem with your mindset is that it sets up a battle between science vs religion, BUT, there is this pretension in saying "well, SOMETHINGS you do is ok".Honest science actually proves the bible correct..
Joe quit it that was very disrespectful to herI you see it as "harmful and disgusting" to use the Law of God, then it reveals the nature of your heart, that you hate God and His truth.

Joe im seeing how you talk to christians sharing their views so .... with respect to the OP, im guessing you have trouble converting anyoneNo Christian believes in evolution who rightly understands the doctrine of evolution and rightly understands the truth of God.
Which is utterly irrelevant and meaningless, since the Pope is just another sinful man.
CrystalDragon was kind enough to share her view and noone here deserves the way you attack them.No Christian believes in evolution who rightly understands the doctrine of evolution and rightly understands the truth of God.

And yet we send missionaries to Muslim countries to evangelize? Why would God people to do that?Rambot
Not at all. It means don't offer people what they don't want. Most atheists know what they want and it is not Jesus. .
Pretend I'm an atheist. How would you convert me?
The title says it all.
I went to an atheist forum to preach about God and failed miserably. I don't know if they were closed-minded or I was just too much of an idiot to persuade someone of anything. Either way, I want to be someone who is good at debating on the side of my God.
So how would you approach such a situation? What would you tell me to convince me out of my atheism?
Let's say, for example, that I believe in evolution instead of creationism. What would you tell me? (That's just one example of many. Don't focus on it, please.)
I am the worst evangelist.All I can do okay is offer rides to my atheist/agnostic friends to church. Only they live opposite ways so I'm like aaah what if they both wanted to go and I can only drive one person anyway?

If that is something the Lord laid on your heart to do, then the Word won't return void.
In cyberspace it's all too easy to hide who you really are and what you really feels or believes...some come online and act all tough but in real life they ain't like that...so many have online "personas" that are fake.
So how would you approach such a situation? What would you tell me to convince me out of my atheism?
If it be there be the opportunity that you were indeed "open" to the gospel, I'd share the good news of the gospel with you and pray for you.

Leave early and pick them both up.
