How to convert a Atheist: wikihow

[Tonus]

Quoting the Bible at every possible opportunity is counterproductive, yet saying "I thank God for [something that goes your way]" may be fine.

I am more comfortable with people quoting scripture than with the constant platitudes and 'thank god' statements. The former often indicates some familiarity with the Bible and possibly a person who tries to understand it. The latter seems more like an instinctive reaction. "Oh, something good happened? I'll thank god for giving me good things! Oh, something bad happened? I'll thank god for testing my spiritual strength! Oh, something horrible happened to someone else? I'll thank god for choosing him instead of me!"

The ability of people to contort any occurrence into a gift from god is fascinating, but the novelty wears off pretty quickly.

Say what you will, I think Christians talking to us along these lines would be a big improvement over what we usually get.

Most of those capable of being big improvements over our Christians would probably not have stayed Christians.


It's really isn't just the Christians that suck. It is Christianity itself. Improve the christian, and he more than likely won't be be able to put up with Christianity any longer.
