You might try by offering CREDIBLE EVIDENCE of his existence. Superstition is amusing, but FACTS rule. And 'Christianity' if totally fact-free.

There is nothing we can do, once they receive the gospel. It is the Holy Ghost that convicts us and brings us to God.

Well the pastors can stop blabbering obvious lies for a start.

Posters on Y!A and elsewhere can stop posting infantile nonsense as questions or answers. (Present company excepted).

After that non-Christians might start to take Christianity seriously.

I won't be holding my breath.

Bring us back to Jesus? Did you ever think that maybe we made the choice to worship several Gods and Goddesses because that is what works for us? Or for Atheist, they have chosen not believe? You have the right to worship who you want and we have the right worship who we want.

Do only that which the Father tells you to do during your lifetime. He will eventually save all people; but each man in his own order.

Leave them alone ! They are saved by some mysterious coincidence for having been able to save them selves from mass delusion called religion. The world has seen for the last 2000 years to what extent religion can devastate the world. Religion has been the single greatest cause of human misery than all other causes combined together. You still want to extinct more human lives with religious nonsense ? Religion has shown its colors in the last 2000 years or so why not allow the Atheists to prove their point of view at least for few hundred years ? Religions at inception did witness violence and persecution in the society because religion suited a particular social class which was essentially the ideas of an individual about God. Religions in its primary stage have been demonic and barbaric because it essentially represented the prevalent social practice and mind set of the rustic people of those time. The cleaver interpretation,reshaping and restructuring(Martin Luther)of religion has given it a humble facade which manges to meet the queries and challenges of modern society. But any amount of cleaver packaging wont help to solve social and human problems for there has never been a God or there is a God. Just as we human beings feel Vi's-a-vis our relation with God in this day, the same could be true for Jesus and his ideas of a God. How could it be that just before 2000 years there came a man Jesus who could see and talk to god but no one else have been able to realize God as Jesus did in the last 2000 years ??? Did Jesus had exclusive patent rights on God ? This is sheer nonsense ! Jesus was no doubt a great human being but what he spoke of God is totally unfounded and such varied ideas about God are even propagated today. Jesus was a human being and he is as fallible as any other ordinary human being. May be Jesus tried to present a benevolent God with a carrot in hand and a stick on the other but the people who wrote the Bible wrote what suited their sweet will and purpose. The propagators of different religions had some hidden agenda : propagate and convert. The prime motive have been to wrest social control by being members of a socially dominant group and there by enjoying social advantage and dominance. The people who are so eager to take help of science to prove Bible find it convenient to look the other way when it comes to their ancestors who rejected Galileo and Darwin in the modern times.

Religion is hypocrisy at its best. If we are really interested in a healthy society ; Morales,values, ethics and humanitarian values should be promoted instead of fables about some imaginary God.

You can't and the very attempt is an insult.

It is the utmost arrogance to claim that you know better than someone else what is right for *their* life.

Respect other people's rights to believe or not as they wish.

Intimidation might work for the vicunas and eclectic types but I dint know any heathen worth his salt who would give in to that.
Sorry friend I'm afraid your soul collecting god of weakness will have to do without Asatruars and Heathens we aren't the cowards you seem to be so your threats of hell dint work.

Nothing. Christians bastardized Christ who was probably just a very adept man.. not the son of god. Christianity ruins peoples lives by making theological arguments that the world and everyone in it is evil, hence wreaking paranoia across the earth. That is inevitable when you indoctrinate people to believe they may or may not be one of the 'chosen few'.
