Yea I don't generally use Biblical testimony to debate atheists because you poeple are so repulsed by the Bible that it actually works against my arguement.
Yes I think you are one of the first bible preachers to admit it works against you.
I must correct one thing though. Atheists (I call myself Agnostic btw) are not repulsed by the bible, I know some that know it better than you. They just see it more as a work of fiction. Not that it shouldn't be read, it should just not be taken as solid truth, and it definitely can't be proof.
