More to convince them that they can't be wrong - people who believe in gods already think that they're right about gods. As I mentioned earlier, it is very much and explicitly a rationalization after the fact. This isn't a problem with it or an argument against it or an atheists critique of it - that's literally what it is and is intended to be.
-deliciously...the categorical imperative of presuppositionalist theology is to begin with and share the gospel of christ - but it sounds like our friend on discord is busy doing something else. Perhaps he should ask himself..if he has ten minutes of an unbelievers time, is that ten minutes better spent worshipping at the altar of reason - or reading from the good book? If, as presuppositionalists contend, their pressupositions are valid, which is to say manifestly true in the sense of any other axiom - there couldn't be any better way to demonstrate that to someone.
If a man asked me to convince him that clouds exist, I'd take him outside and point at one - not argue the rationality or grounds of the a-cloud worldview - but that's just me.
