Slam Him Against the Wall
It's important to take a person professing to be an atheist through the Moral Law before you mention God. When you ask him if he has kept the Ten Commandments, you are not asking about his belief in God, or whether or not he thinks Hell exists. So initially, the subject of his beliefs probably won't arise. As you use the Law, you will be encouraged when you see what a powerful weapon God has given you. Every now and then, an unrelenting Law will slam a hardened rebel against the wall, frisk him for secret sins, and then point their ten great cannons at his face. You will see an actual change in his face as he feels the cold steel of the pistol of his own conscience. His mouth is stopped by the Law, and that prepares his heart to listen to his only hope of salvation. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
