Pat,

Quote:
Scripture has at least a chance of making people step back and reconsider... my opinion (or yours) is no more than an opinion.
Opinions are easily dismissed. But there's always that enormous "WHAT IF.." regarding scripture, which makes it less dismissable.
Its a distinction worth acknowledging


I agree completely if you’re talking to a person who simply hasn’t become a Christian. Scripture could potentially sway that person to convert.

But if you’re talking to an agnostic or atheist, quoting scripture is counterproductive, IMHO. The “what if” factor doesn’t exist.
