I agree with you that using the bible is counter productive.... while the bible speaks truth.. truth is self evident and can be found by reason.. so use reason to the lead people to the same point

God is truth...but to be a rational man....truth is God... even an atheist if they contend they are rational must have truth as God...and bow to it ...despite thier wants... else are nothing but irrationally

prove to.other by logic their thinking is irrational, illogical and does not stand up to any critical thinking...

it is how you prove a law “unlawful”..it's how you prove a right does not come from arbitrarily from men's whims... but from the creator external to man..the rules of natural law

Crush a leftist by proving him just an ignorant bible thumper..just something different bible, like the New York Times book on the month

Once you mention the Bible or God in a discussion, any other points you might make are immediately and totally discredited in the minds of those you are trying to convert.

So, do we want to make converts, or do we want to go thru motions that make us feel good about ourselves?

Look up the Apostle Paul’s speech on the Areopagus. He spoke to his listeners in terms they could understand and accept. Had he started preaching the risen Christ immediately, he would simply have caused his listeners to walk away.

To my mind, Christians who use the Bible as an authority to make a point to unbelievers are much like the crazy bearded guy with a sign downtown, standing on the corner and shouting about the world soon to end.

Does he really think anybody is going to listen to him? Of course not. At bottom, his choice of method is a form of exhibitionism and narcissism. It’s not about changing the minds of others, it’s about flaunting himself as a superior person.

Very much like a great deal of leftist posing.
