Ask him why He thinks there's no Christ.
I think a good why of getting people to know Christ is to be interested in them, and be willing to listen to what they believe in. Showing you respect their opinion will allow them to open up to yours 3nodding

My bro has a very similar opinion... Altough I can't give you a solution I can tell you not to give up and try talking with him reasonably.
I can often get on the topic of christ with my bro in just a few minuites and everytime we talk I understand him and he understand me just a little more. Maybe someday he will decide to have the same view as me... He may never but here's hoping.

well, there's thiss program where i live that has a really good message--and there's proof that it works. all you have to do is pray that he'll see Christ with God, take him to Church more, and he will get closer to Him in time. that's just what i've seen, and it worked.

...Do you know what Hell is, Lazarus? Utter and complete seperation from God, for the rest of eternity. *shakes her head* I don't see how you can speak so frankly, so bluntly, of something as serious as this. Think, believe, what you will-- just please remember (and so let me point out) that there are those here who obviously care about their friends enough to ask for help such as this. If they come seeking help, or prayers, either give it or don't... I just wish you wouldn't do so with such disdain.
Srent, I'll be in prayer for your friend-- and for you, that you can find the words he may need to hear and the strength to stand up for what you believe even if he doesn't agree with you. May you have the resolve to stand firm, and the good graces not to shove it down his throat (tempting, in the end... trust me, I know). In the meantime, I can only echo what are obviously good ideas from the others; getting people to talk about their faith (and LISTENING, seeming interested, in what they're saying) is one of the best ways I've found to witness to cases like your friend. Here's to the hope that the Truth comes swiftly to him.

Here's to the hope that the Truth comes swiftly to him. People can generally tell when you are just listening and not paying attention... I recomend being genuinly interested so that you can even use some of the foundations in your friends faith to better strengthen your views and maybe even show you a some of the things that help you be so steadfast in your own faith. All it boils down to is a good heart to heart... or man to man... or chick to chick... Side note... I don't wish eternal damnation on anyone. I may be crude in tossing out phrases like "That's purging the gene pool" and "Just let 'em go" but it is often to display my own frustrations on a subject... I wouldn't even wish a fallen one a life of total damnation, but they did it to themselves.

*nods in agreement with the Paladin* I understand-- but btw, "seeming" was a terrible choice of a word on my part, and I didnt' mean what I said. Yeah, what I meant was to be interested.... sweatdrop and now I feel bad for not catching it.
But anyway-- just wanted to say so.
