How to convert an atheist

RE: How to convert an atheist
Quote:4 Verify that the Bible is scientifically correct every time it mentions science, though not a science text.

The problem is that this is in no way even remotely true that it's laughable. This is how the ancient authors of the bible viewed the world:

Rain happened when God opened floodgates in the firmament. This isn't the only diagram, either, since there are many different versions of this same diagram out there, but they all agree that this is how the biblical authors thought the world was.

And don't even get me started on insects having four legs and pi=3, not to mention that you can create striped goats by having their parents look at striped rods.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

RE: How to convert an atheist
This sounds like a more advanced version of the "Jesus loves you so much that if you don't love him back he will torture you for eternity" tactic of converting atheists. The world needs atheists because God knows that half the population of the world is sick of theists regardless of these people being theists themselves. The manner in which the WikiHow articles approaches this subject matter is bizarre as it only builds upon the Christian heart to prepare them for the near impossible. Christianity is a dying horse and has ran out of arguments to counter the arguments of other religions. If Christianity was an honest religion it would be the most violent, brutal and atrocious religion in history. The issue though is that the vast Majority of Christians are ignorant or profound liars as it is a doctrine based upon deceit and lying. The Christian faith proclaims to worship a god of profound love yet he casts you to hell for eternity for not loving him back. This is almost always skipped or given a two faced approach. The Christian majority are profound liars while Muslims perform taqlid obeying the Sunnah of a dead prophet and retain their honesty.
Christians cannot convert anyone unless they lie and lie very often. When Christians were left unable to convert by the sword they used deceit. William Lane Craig is one such example as he is a serpent wearing human clothes who cannot even make a sound philosophical argument and he supposedly has a PhD in this subject matter.

Conversion in the Christian sense just means to sharpen your tongue and hone in your lies into emotional areas of human being and multiply your deceit into a facade of truth.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Maybe if you former Christians didn't throw in the towel at the first sign of an intellectual challenge maybe you wouldn't be quick to follow like sheep the professional scoffers.

Says the sheep.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

"Knock, Knock. Let me in, it's Jesus."

"Why do you want to come in?"

"So I can save you!"

"Save me from what?"

""From what I'll do to you if you don't let me in!"

Lol. Yeah it's not like any of us struggled to convince ourselves that the more comforting ideas of faith were true, even against all evidence and common sense... and still utterly failed to do so. You have no intellectual defense for Christianity. "Apologetics" is nothing more but smoke and mirrors.

I was an atheist LONG before I'd heard of those "professional scoffers"

Perhaps you should apply that argument to the sheep who follow religion without bothering to do question it.

I've never heard an atheist say, "No matter what proof you ever have for your god I'll never believe it!"

I have heard theists, numerous times, say, "No matter how conclusive the evidence tat god doesn't exist or that the bible is wrong, I'll always believe in the bible!"

THAT is a sheep!

Sadly the majority of people are sheep. Atheism is no free pass. A "Free thinking atheist" is a mythical creature. A meaningless cliché to get you hung by.
