I used to war with atheists.   In retrospect, however, the battles weren’t intended to convert them.  I began to see the odds of conversion rather piqued indeed.  I don’t even know if any of those men would remember our “lively” conversations.

No, the reason for those battles was to hone my own skills in The Gospel.  And it was quite effective.

Many thanks, then, to godless men.  By your hatred for God, you have bolstered one of His people.  Keep up the good work!
