What does quoting scriptures do for someone who doesn't believe the Bible anyway? You may as well be quoting from Harry Potter.

You actually made a very truthful statement there.
What is with people trying to claim you said something you never said? Dude absolutely did not equate Harry Potter with the Bible.

Don't mind Laura. Her constant holier-than-thou/can do no wrong attitude rubs us all the wrong way.

He basically said that for all the good it does to quote the Bible to someone who does not believe in the Bible, you might as well be quoting anything else, even as silly a book as Harry Potter.

Maybe dude and laura are the same person. They ignore instead of acknowledge when people point out something about their attitude.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think that's the case. One writes emotionally-charged posts, while the other writes emotionally-distant posts.

I get what he said, but faith doesn't come from hearing Harry Potter. And that's the difference between the Bible and Harry Potter (or other books) regardless of someone's current beliefs. So while I comprehend what he was saying, it was still incorrect.

If you are quoting the Bible to an unbeliever then in his mind you are just reading fiction. Because to an atheist the Bible is just a work of fiction. I believe this is called casting your pearls to swine

Are you a mind reader? You never know when one will change his mind. You don't throw your pearls to pigs immediately but you give him a chance first if he is worthy.

Actually, the Bible never said that faith came from hearing the word of God. It said that faith comes from hearing, period. And since it is a truth that we humans will have faith in whatever it is that we hear, it is imperative that we make sure it is the word of God that we study and absorb.

Someone who has no intention of ever wanting to study or hear the word of God, is not suddenly and magically going to develop faith in God because we spout verses at them that they deny and don't want to hear. This belief that the "words" have some magical properties, just because someone's ear drums are vibrated by the modulation frequency of speaking them is the very basis of the Bibliolatry so many Christians get hung-up on.

It also says in the bible that the Word of God is not return void whether the person is an atheist or not.

Still the word of God should be said like the seeds should be scattered regardless of where it falls, whether on healthy soil, pavement or thorny rocks. You will never know the status of one's heart by outside appearance.

I agree with that. But, for an unbeliever who doesn't want to hear any Bible stuff, we will get a lot farther by including and associating Bible with things they already accept and see validity in.

You do realize that "not returning void" does not necessarily mean they will accept it... it also means that they might just as vividly reject everything they heard.
