Witnessing to Agnostics and Atheists
Q: How do I go about witnessing to an Atheist? My friend has cancer, but fends off all attempts to share the Gospel by saying that I’m wasting my time trying to convert him from Atheism.
A: Well done for directing your friend to The Truth from his blind folly.
Anti-Christian Religion
Atheism is an end-time religion that crawled from Europe in the 1700’s so called, “Age of Enlightenment”.
Like all religions, it comes from Satan masquerading as an angel of light (2 Co. 11:14) who managed to infect Parisian navel-gazers, drunk on cognac, wormwood (“absinthe”), and pride.
It was given a boost in the mid-nineteenth century when, against his better judgment, chronic plagiarist Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution fairy tale, “On the Origin of Species”, and its overtly racist sequel, “The Descent of Man”.
It was his decadent Unitarian Grandfather, Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802. See below; ‘Are Unitarians Christian?’), who elaborated all the concepts Charles later claimed, but never acknowledged his relative as the source, despite copying his ideas and terminology.
Charles also freely plagiarised A. R. Wallace’s writings, which the fellow naturalist trustingly shared with Darwin.
No wonder Charles was wracked with psychosomatic guilt-induced sickness ever after, and perished in his sins, like all idolaters.
The case against evolution has massive scientific proof that proponents choose to blindly ignore. Here are some excellent Creationist DVDs to help you convince sceptics.
Atheists are devout idolaters, infidels, and shallow thinkers, often loud and abusive towards Christians.
Their faith is in themselves as Lord, in that the individual decides what is right and wrong, it is another idolatrous religion: A morally bankrupt cult of self-worship.
Atheists can, of course, get saved, but they are so entangled in their idolatry, and pride, that many rapidly become reprobate, as described in 2 Tim. chapter 3.
Follow The LORD
To answer your question; attend to the Holy Ghost, He’ll lead you how to deal with your dying friend. It may be in word, a scripture, a deed, or a mere touch. Listen to His Spirit in your heart, and do what He says. The LORD knows exactly how to reach that individual, you don’t, so follow Him, not some prescribed routine.
Sometimes, He tells me to leave them, and find somebody who is interested in hearing Good News.
It is a snare to waste time arguing with infidels, whilst hungry souls are perishing all around you.
It’s painful to watch a dear friend, or family member, perish in their sins, but remember it is their choice, the LORD never forces anybody to believe in Him, nor does He nag sinners into submission.
Recall how gently He witnessed to you, and always respected your right to listen and hear, or to shut Him out: He’s still the same.
Wilful Spiritual Blindness
Followers of the Atheist religion claim there is no God.
To make such a fatuous remark, the Atheist inherently declares he has absolute knowledge.
The only person who knows everything there is to know is The LORD Almighty.
Corner an Atheist and point this out to them, and they will say they believe there is no God. Stressing the “believe” part of the remark, thereby illustrating their ignorance, self-deceit, and proving the point: It is just another faith-based religion.
There’s more hope for Agnostics than Atheists, but both are plainly injudicious.
There Is No Fence To Squat On
Agnostics claim it’s not possible to know God, or even, if there is a God; meaning they are not sure if God is, or is not.
Every born again believer instantly sees the self-deception of such a thought; Exodus 3:13-14 KJV;
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Christians have more sympathy with Agnostics, and many are open to rational discussion of the Gospel facts of life and Creation, which are obvious to every sentient person on Earth. (Rom. 1:18-25)
Unfortunately, more use the religious label, “Atheist/Agnostic” merely as a cover to excuse their immoral lives: Not believing in God, Judgement, and sin is a convenient dodge enabling them to indulge their sinful cravings.
Corrupt Judges
Their position is plainly absurd, and it doesn’t take long to expose such vanity: For example; ask them how they decide what is right and wrong, where their moral standard comes from.
When they admit, that they set their own, show them where that inexorably leads.
Agnostics tend to respond by going quiet, whereas Atheists become vocal and abusive.
Wiser Than Flogging Dead Horses
Personally, I’ve learned not to waste time on cults, including Atheist and Agnostic idolaters.
Instead, I ask the Lord to lead me to souls hungry for truth, it’s far more satisfying and rewarding.
In Summary:
An Atheist is an infidel who has absolute faith in his blindness. Someone who believes that God does not exist. In other words: A person who has total faith in their ignorance of The Truth.
An Agnostic is someone who believes it is not possible to know if God exists or not. In other words: A person who admits their ignorance of The Truth.
The cure for both religions is to proclaim, and demonstrate, the Living Truth to them: The LORD Jesus Christ, until their caprine hooves clatter into The Lake of Fire: Or they repent and believe The Truth.

What will we do in Heaven?: Many Christians have no idea how wonderful the answer is, and that is just the beginning.
Q: Are Unitarians Christian?
A: Certainly not; Unitarians deny; the Trinity, the Deity of Christ, the fact of Judgment after death, the inerrancy of Scripture, original sin, the existence of Hell, and like all the pseudo-Christian cults, Unitarians pick and choose which parts of the Bible they believe.
This apostasy is reflected in their sinful lifestyles.
Unitarian, Erasmus Darwin, for example, was a notorious philanderer, his serial adultery issuing several illegitimate children.
