How to talk to an Atheist

I really enjoy reading Mike Adams’ columns. He’s extremely sarcastic from time to time, and he pulls no punches when dealing with some of the stupidity he sees on college campuses. Some people, no doubt, hate him. Ah, well. Some people hated Aliens Vs. Predator, too. That just goes to show you: Some people are idiots have no taste.

Anyway, I was catching up on some old columns I’d missed, and found this one, which I thought I should share for my Christian friends who might be reading this — How to talk to an atheist (and you must):

The advice was given to me by someone who sincerely considered the matter to be urgent. And that sense of urgency was conveyed without a trace of anger. It was just a matter of one human being communicating his concern for another without being pushy and holier-than-thou.

If a Christian really believes the things he professes to believe, he will go to great lengths to share it with others. He would even crawl on his belly across a desert of broken glass if he thought he could reach an atheist. He would certainly do more than utter profanity and show contempt for the atheist.

When my relationship with my atheist girlfriend ended on April 4th, 1992, I thought it was the end of the world. I didn’t know I had just taken my first step on the road to freedom. I certainly didn’t believe in divine intervention. But I do now.

Read the whole thing.
