Part 1: Attitude
When speaking about God, atheists can be curious or aggressive, transparent or convoluted. I was an atheist for many years. Now that I’m a Christian I enjoy discussing things with atheists. Here are some tips about talking to non-believers, using the Bible as your tool and guide.
1. LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13 is good to remember. Anything you say without love is a noisy gong.
2. PERSPECTIVE. The Bible, God, anything supernatural—it doesn’t make any sense to someone who doesn’t have a relationship with God. They will never truly understand what you are saying until they “turn to the Lord”. Show them grace in this—but don’t feel the need to point this out because it will likely make things worse. In 1 Corinthians 2:14 Paul says, “But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.” See also 2 Corinthians 3:14b-16.
