by observation here are a few tools christians use to convert the lost
-guilt.... if you believe you have killed an innocent man and or have "sinned" ( ten commandments ) most of the time humanity is more than willing to make it right....therefore becoming a christian
-hunger/poverty.... if a missionary has food wouldnt it seem logical that you would be more inclined to hearing the message?
-unintelligent.... its an easy win to convince "unintelligent" people to come to christ... dare you use science?
( to make sure everyone knows..... im talking about the people christians are trying to save and i 100% respect most christians on this forum)
just a few things ive noticed

I saw a documentary earlier this week in which it transpired that Duch, Pol Pots chief executioner converted to christianity a few years after his crimes.

That stuff must be drawn on the back of your eyelids.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Calling theists "unintelligent" is false, stupid and arrogant...
Alot of very smart people are theist, they just have one part of their brain blocked off, doesn't mean that the rest doesn't function perfectly well.
Would you call every addicted person in denial "unintelligent" ?
Would you call every person that believes in UFOs "unintelligent" ?
Would you call every person who says their country is the best country in the world "unintelligent" ?
And people wonder why atheists have a bad reputation...that kind of speech really doesn't help...
