@turok25 First of all, Christianity doesn't take everything in scripture literally. Second, tactics are necessary when sharing our faith with others. Some have objections which at first seem logically sound, but often hide flaws. Having a good knowledge of Christian philosophy and the Word of God, as well as when and how to present that knowledge in the light of objections is necessary to confront these objections and help others to understand the 'how's and 'why's of our faith.
Pretty much everything Greg says is applicable. I use exactly the same tactics online as I do in person. The only difference is that sometimes its tempting to give multiple points at the same time, and it might work when agreed to still take it slow with just more thought transmitted each time."Facebook Sniping" as I call it, is actually among my favorite hobbies :-D
I have found the most effective weapon when trying to win atheists is to spend time in prayer before getting on to the internet and asking God to give me empathy and wisdom. God bless you Greg,
You have to be careful with how much effort you give to arguing on the net. It depends on the medium, but a lot of atheists (and theists) are just there to declare a cool and winning comment and in so doing feel good about their own rightness.
Most people are not interested at arriving at truth. My advice to theists is: if you don't feel empathy for your opponent as a person, don't get involved in an argument with them!!
I am reading the book Tactics by Greg and it is one of the best apologetics books I have ever read. Great video btw. God bless and pax.
