Matthew 10:34-35 came to mind:

>Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

>For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

I don't think I've helped anyone. It's a long uphill battle. No one in my immediate family, not even my parents believe in Christ. I currently working on their worldviews, such that they see the metaphysical consistency and moral objectivity of Christianity while showing atheism's moral lacking and errors in causality.

I managed to make one agnostic to a deist at best(using argument by first cause). Another deist looks into just about every single lie about Christ and refuses to look into Christianity itself! Whether it's an alien Jesus, the zeitgeist, married Jesus, the Flavian conspiracy Jesus, Gnostic Jesus, Egyptian + Bablyonian rip off theories, and so on. That's just two of them. I've got a pagan to deal with, an apatheist, a feminist and the like.

Keep reading and researching. That's my advice. Learn how to debate. Don't be afraid to argue, but stay clear of petty fights. Use secular and logical arguments for worldviews and ideologies, find the contradicting points of the opposing worldviews, and use scripture to disprove ridiculous heresies.

Lord have mercy on you and your friends.

invite them to church with you

tell them to read a bible, or offer to read to tthem the bible (actually very fun to read aloud to friends)

say grace when you eat with them

shitpost about God when you naturally feel the urge

call them out as you would a friend when they bone themselves. when friends or acquaintances suggest something sinful for themselves or ask if i would partake, i straight up usually tell them, "no, because thats a sin" in a matter of fact/jovial tone and they usually laugh , sometimes with a glimmer in their eyes that they might have received the truth.

I find its hardest to convert those thrust newly into a "religion" like some new age ganj or 1488 larp; the average normie (degenerate) is usually just a lemming following allowing the negro culture of fuck bitches get money etc etc, and thus with your living example and good fruits they will notice, and perhaps listen to see where you get your swag (which you then say, "uh, Jesus, duh, lol"

if you continue in your yearning for God, pray earnestly, and remember to remember Him as much as possible, you will no doubt shine a light, and with your yes' of yes and your no's of no, you will no doubt convert all you meet, or at the very least plant those seeds which will no doubt bear fruit at a critical moment that God has planned for them.

I hope my response is not too unorganized, i have to head out right now, but if anyone else would like to ask me about tips or general mindset in the quest to be fishers of men (and friends) i will be monitoring this thread.

God bless and good luck brothers

Wow, yknow I actually have been doing a number of these. I nag people to come to church with me every time there's some kind of special occasion mass or social get together; I think they think I'm trolling. Fine. It only lets me push them harder.

I can't tell you how much mileage i get out of obnoxious Christian themed memes; I usually get a laugh and it feels like a small victory every time i get an atheist or agnostic to laugh at themselves.

Sometimes I feel like I'm chipping away at this monolithic cultural phantom Ned Flanders/Tipper Gore/Dana Carvey Church Lady idea, since most people i know were either raised irreligious, or else abysmally chatechized, and that's what people seem to think Christians are like.

I can't say the pope is making my life any easier, either.

How on earth do you get away with whipping out a Bible and reading it at somebody who doesn't want to hear it? (With a straight face?) Is there a scene of someone doing this in a movie or a tv show? I feel like if i actually tried that I would come off like either a street preacher or a total autist.
