Q: if Atheist doesnt believe in God

Q: I’ve never heard an atheist (not agnostic, but atheist) claim that "God may exist but" say that "he just didn’t believe in Him". 

They say, "a god may exist but have not seen reasonable evidence" and if we show evidence that one does, will they remain skeptical? But even if we provide evidence, whether reasonable or a mountain of it, will they investigate it or ignore it & remain hostile to God?

A: Atheists know God exists. Atheists core issue is one of hate... and it comes from the sin nature. It is no surprise since Satan hates God, those who align with him (aka are his children), children of darkness, will hate Him. And they in the sin nature that came via Satan by sin [in Eden], are trapped and enslaved to both. Scripture says theyre blinded by Satan the deceiver. 

Scripture says Humans are in a state of hostility towards God because of His moral requirements; they dont like God telling them what to do morally. And it is why they try to make up their own moral standards of good. But He will hold them accountable to His; perfection.

This provides reasonable evidence, and a mountain of investigatable proofs (for the authenticity of Scripture as God's Word & as the truth). Most wont look into it, because of the above. They have no interest in truth/God's word. Because they love their sins. 

*However if they are going to be saved before they die, believers witnessing need to remember we plant seeds and water, and God draws them to Himself and saves them. God's word never returns void. Theyll either obey the Gospel and live, or it adds to their case (& eternal sentencing) in God's eternal court for rejecting truth as well as their millions of sins on that Day. Regardless we know one sin ever committed damns, and that is why we preach [with the hope of souls being saved, and knowing all in the Lambs Book of Life will be saved].

Example convo

*shows those who walk away from religion, deconstruct, etc, do so because they love their sins, just as atheists do. Many who see the reasonableness of the gospel, still dont value Christ's sacrifice, because they love their sins more. 

You can try to reason with them and offer the proof link to them, [it includes all], and after... all you can do is pray God is leading them to salvation.
