You think this is excellent? As if belittling, trapping, ambushing, or criticizing them will somehow win them over to God?
The only item this list worth considering is #10, but even then I get the impression it is being mentioned almost tongue-in-cheek. As if it would be something you would purposefully do to wound them, rather than SOMETHING YOU SHOULD DO.
My pastor gave a great sermon on this a while back. He basically said that we should be demonstrating why living a Christian life is so fulfilling instead of ATTACKING the lifestyles of others. I think I agree with him.

I think I do too. And I am an atheist.
Read my post #29. Of course we shouldn’t be belittling them as if ‘we have arrived’ and are ‘enlightened’. God’s Truth is not something WE made up or authored - HE did! If we speak the Truth AND expose the lies and flaws in their logic, with well-presented and life-offering explanations, then their house of cards falls. Again, if we out-intellect on our own, we’re operating in the Flesh. But when the Holy Spirit guides us and gives us what to say, we can be used as effective instruments. Don’t fall prey to the Political-Correctness of shutting us up.
