I disagree about not using reason with the emotionally immature. I think back to when people planted seeds with me, especially when I wasn't a believer, some were met with offense and ridicule, but it sunk in eventually. If the church and the saints taught apologetics like it/they should, most people would have a clue rather than be led like sheep to the slaughter in this lukewarm church age. Are people not supposed to expose false teaching?
We are REQUIRED to expose false teaching. If we don't, we are as guilty as the false teachers.
James 4:17 - Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.
I should have clarified my meaning. I'm not saying that one shouldn't "plant seeds" - or attempt to reason with people - that's vitally important. I am merely saying that if anyone thinks they can reason people out of opinions that they haven't first reasoned themselves into, they're sadly mistaken. Most people's politics and religious beliefs (or lack thereof) are merely unquestioned reflections of what they grew up with, ie: "It was good enough for my daddy and it's good enough for me."
