Personally I am not interested in helping you with your book. Please be patient with us with when we veer off topic frequently. That is the nature of an internet forum. Very few threads remain totally on topic for more than a few pages.
I am an atheist. I have already sat through hundreds of Pentecostal and Catholic services. So , it is not that I have not been effectively evangelized to. I have never been raped by a priest or harmed by a pastor. I reject Christianity because no Christian has been convincing enough. I find Christianity irrational and superstitious. No different than any other religious belief system including the most modern Alien Lizard People Conspiracies.
Is your book going to be one of the many handbooks out there for evangelizing to atheists? "5 Big Things We Get Wrong Talking to Athiests" or something? Is your goal to save us?
The brining people to Christ is a priority of my life, but for the purposes of this book no.

For my own self, i didn't mean to be "condescending" to you guys when I referred to the words sin and hell being triggers. I just know they are upsetting to some ppl here, and that's all I meant by that. It seems like many things we say are taken as condecending insults, when they are not meant to be that way at all.
(And to clarify, I am not in the group you speak of.)
Let's ask him directly : Dragonspride 1995 - I reject Jesus as my Lord and savior. I reject the idea of one god ( or any gods). Do you think I am going to hell?
This is not a trigger to me. The people dearest to me in my life think I am going to hell . I love and get along with them just fine. It will not hurt me if you do.
As per my beliefs and the teachings of the Bible the only way into heaven is through Jesus Christ. Now if I may ask you a question. Is it moral to censor someone's speech, and stop them from professing their beliefs?
