Advice for new believers encountering militant anti-theists: (1) Don't spend most of your time with them — get grounded in biblical truth first. (2) Many militant atheists repeatedly ask the same questions, get good answers, and ignore them — they want to stump, not learn. (3) If your good answers only generate more questions with no acknowledgment, you may be wasting your time. Focus on learning truth before combating error.

New believers and militant atheists

New believers are especially vulnerable because anti-theists misrepresent Christianity, and new believers don't yet know enough to spot the misrepresentation. Priority: learn the Word → get grounded → then engage. The "100 conversations" pattern: some skeptics have had the same exchange with good answers many times and don't care. When questions only generate more questions without engaging answers, move on.
