How to Witness to Christians

It is quite difficult to witness to Christians, mostly because they are such a diverse group of people. All the ideas on this site will only affect some - for other Christians, using rational thought or logic may not work.

Many Christians may be as I was - trapped in a cycle of dogma and frightened to leave. They need to know that you, and Eris, love them and will always be there for them. Make sure they know they can take refuge if they need to. Be aware that Christians who are at the higher levels will be very much trapped by Yahweh. They may feel frightened to leave, they may feel that they are too evil for Eris or for Erisians to accept them, and they need to know that you are there for them. Some of them really do believe that they will be sent to hell if they try to leave. Other Christians in at this level may be aggressive, highly anti-Erisian and attempt to convert you to Christianity. Always keep in mind that a hurting soul may be concealed under that tough exterior. That doesn't mean you should go easy on them - Christian error should be challenged, but keep the message of love and freedom in there.

Lower-level Christians may not know of the higher levels - they are generally introduced gradually into these dogmas and errors, as I was. Let them know of the reality behind Christianity, but if they do not accept it, do not become disheartened. If they have not been accepted into the higher levels yet then you have the chance to bring them to Eris before they enter such a dangerous situation. Challenging their beliefs, use of testimonies and the message of love and freedom are good ways to attempt this.

Be aware that Christians value dogma and belief more than anything else (logical, considering who their master is) and do not appreciate being told that their beliefs are wrong. They pride themselves on being true. So point out that this means that they should listen and think about Erisianism too. Make sure you find out exactly what their dogmas and beliefs are - there are a wide variety of different beliefs in Christianity.

Always pray for the person you are witnessing to, that they may be able to see the truth of Chaos and have the courage to get out of Christianity.

Make sure you know general apologetics and guerrilla ontology- many Christians will attack your faith if you try to witness to them. There are a number of good sites about this on the web, such as www.principiadiscordia.com, or this site. Many more can be found on Google.

Be aware that many Christians have enormous regard for the arts and good Erisian prose, poetry or artwork may touch them deeply. Consider using examples of these.

Although many Christians are well-read and can argue against Erisianism they often do not understand the message. Never assume they know about it and always explain it when witnessing.

As many Christians are very web-friendly, directing them to good Erisian sites may be helpful - see our links section.

And lastly, remember THE BATTLE IS ALREADY WON!!! YOU ARE FREE!
