Great advice except for the fact that many people don't believe in Jesus or if they do believe in Him think He was only a wise human and nothing more and is still just as dead today as He was over 2000 years ago when he died on the cross. I'm not among them of course but my point is that your advice is kind of useless to those people is it not?Oh, and this thread belongs in the religion forum. Why did you post it here?

I agree with pretty much everything you said here but many people who don't believe get extremely irritated and angry when you try to force it on them. Just be prepared to be called all kinds of names and be mocked by them for your beliefs.

Indeed and I'm pretty sure in the USA crime(including shootings) have been steadily going down over the past few decades.
I mean yes it's terrible what's happening in Chicago rn but there was a time in the 80s when Miami had similar numbers of homicides to Chicago today (500-600 per year) despite only being a fraction of the size.
I think what's increased are high profile mass shootings... And I believe a lot of that is down to copycats and people being inspired by shit like Columbine.

As a fellow Christian you want my advice?Come up with secular arguments for Christian morality. You'll have an easier time persuading atheists on that front than converting them. I know from experience.
Sooo.. show how Christianity is obsolete and unnecessary. Good call. I agree. 👆

I didn't hear about that one. When did that happen?

Sunnyvale crash suspect targeted people he believed were Muslim, police say
If you're curious why you haven't heard much, here is a pic of the guy who did it:
