When we try to spread the gospel to a non-believer we get frustrated, angry, and depressed from the fact that that they will not listen.
They often shut us down by asking questions, telling us to prove it and such. So then we go ahead and taunt on them by calling them stupid,
ignorant, stubborn and closed minded. Even with the best of our knowledge we cannot turn one person around 360'. No matter how many facts and the truth
we speak, they cannot see the truth; why?
It is not because they are stupid, ignorant, closed minded or stubborn. It is because they are blinded by the world. They CANNOT see the truth
because they are blinded by the society. It is like trying to make someone who is blind read a book, its impossible. So how can they see?
All we can do is love them regardless of their sins, comfort them, and set examples for them.
It is not in any of our power to force them to see the truth but it is in Gods power to give a little spark in his or her heart.

It's not that they can't see, it's that they don't.

Right. Because of all the things that they are use to doing in the society such as partying, sex, drugs, drinking, etc, they can't see the light.
Now depending on who and how the person might be determines rather they choose not to see or they cannot see at all.
Most people I come across CANT see.

Calling "stupid and closed minded" people who ask questions you can't answer is really smart indeed.

Atheists talk with theories while you, christians, talk with "truth", do faith makes you forget that you never got real proofs ?

Do you have dreams? can you prove your dream?
Do you love someone limitless? can you prove to me that you love her/him limitless?
Do you feel respected? can you prove to me that you feel respected?

You can make up questions to about anything you want to argue with.
None-believers tend to do that.

Everything I believe in comes from experience.

Tell me this my friend. Do you ever see a innocent person get killed as guilty because they couldn't get real proofs?
Do you see a guilty person released as free because they found "real proofs"?

If you are trying to solve what to believe by question and logic reasoning, you will get no where.

"Calling "stupid and closed minded" people who ask questions you can't answer is really smart indeed."
Please read the perspective of the post. That is my point.

It is, for me, useful to prove the things which will lead my way of life. I don't wanna follow something just because someone told me "It's good" or "This is what you must do".

And to be honest, this is even harder with all the awful things linked to the christian history. (and justified by faith and not by proofs)

The original product wasn't bad, but what humans did with it was.
