That would be my argument as well, we are to preach and if we are not accepted to shake the dust off our sandals and move on:Solomon had advised us to avoid arguing with fools.
And yet we entertain,post to,over and over,atheists who join our forums.That would be my argument as well, we are to preach and if we are not accepted to shake the dust off our sandals and move on:
Matthew 10:14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
I tend to stay away from them unless they are interested in Christianity. If they are here to be obnoxious then I ignore them. Also I have used a lot of ignore on members that are blasphemous or attack people, trollers too.And yet we entertain,post to,over and over,atheists who join our forums.

Edited to add an argument many atheists use against the truth of,in, Jesus.
JESUS
Is Jesus Simply A Retelling Of The Osiris Mythology?
And this is always in season. Lutheran Satire.
I disagree completely. I have brought many atheists to Jesus. After all, before I came to Jesus, I lived in unbelief and skepticism. Paul said; "I have become all things to all men that by all means, I might save some". Wherever there is darkness brother, there is the opportunity to turn on the light. The atheist loves the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Just speak softly and offer them the fruit of the holy spirit from the tree of life, and behold!The answer is you don’t. Arguing with them is pointless because many atheists mistake their skepticism for wisdom, and they feel like they’re on a quest to enlighten humanity with their doubts. Their hearts are set on disbelief because they are in love with their sins, resisting the Holy Spirit’s counsel tooth and nail. Even if God appeared to an atheist, smacked him square on the face, and announced, “Hey, I’m God!” the atheist still wouldn’t believe.
Don’t waste your time with these people.
I'm interested about the atheists whom you talked about Jesus with and what their views were beforehand. We they very against Christianity, or just indifferent to it before speaking with you? And what did you tell them?I disagree completely. I have brought many atheists to Jesus. After all, before I came to Jesus, I lived in unbelief and skepticism.

You're right, I shouldn't have phrased it that way.We might wish to check our pride here.
We don't bring anyone to Christ.
We can speak about Jesus,witness,etc... However,unless God changes the natural man,woman,to understand the things of God,that person remains an unbeliever,for whom the things of God are thought foolishness.
I'd have to write a book to answer your questions. But here are some keys I developed through prayer.I'm interested about the atheists whom you brought to Jesus and what their views were beforehand.

I agree with both of you, I don't think it's worth arguing with an atheist on the internet if they just want to show how much they hate Christianity and will never change their mind, but if they are interested and open to it it's a great opportunity to teach and learn more, and hopefully bring someone closer to God.
Thank you for this, I assume the same thing applies to the question "where did the first living thing come from?"I'd have to write a book to answer your questions. But here are some keys I developed through prayer.
1. Ask an atheist this question: How did the Universe come about? Don't change one word of this question. Ask it that way.
2. If they answer "I don't know", then they are no longer an Atheist, they are agnostic. This will shock them.
3. If they answer "Nothing created the Universe", then they are creationists not atheists. Because "NOTHING" is now the creator with a name.
4. If they answer "The purple people eater created it", then they are creationists with a creator that has a name.
Respectfully, may I push back a bit?I'd have to write a book to answer your questions. But here are some keys I developed through prayer.
