What are effective strategies for countering the arguments of nonbelievers?

One way, as you are practicing currently, is to pose their arguments to us, to hear a divine perspective you can use in the future in sharing this wisdom with any and all, given the opportunity to communicate it. This is the value of the exchange, to use the opportunity to engage with nonbelievers as a learning exercise, and as a test in a way, about your storehouse of knowledge and wisdom and to gauge your effectiveness in holding forth in a similar way as the nonbeliever, taking on all comers. You can do so in a similar exercise from the divine perspective and use this as a forum to attract people wanting to understand more deeply their own belief, or lack of belief, to see its relative merits and how it compares to others. This very exercise is the way people learn and grow in all fields of endeavor. It is no different than hobbyists gathering to learn from one another how better to accomplish some practical task to make something, to craft something, or to create a work of art. So having the ability to come to us for guidance and support is indeed a fine idea and will develop your thinking by adding our thoughts to yours to make you further ready to engage with others yourself, and not have to retreat to do a channeling session to devise a comeback through learning from us. You will grow beliefs within yourself and will be able to incorporate our perspectives in ways they will become your own and will serve you greatly going forward in your own interactions. Keep in mind that this is useful preparation far beyond the occasion when you may be in a group of people discussing spirituality and dealing with skeptics among you. Every person harbors doubt, and this issue will come up again and again quite directly in dealing with troubled people and their struggle. But it will also be not far from mind with many kinds of interactions, and people will be unsure of themselves and their spiritual standing, and will be unsure of you and your validity, whether you are who you purport to be, and have the experiences you do as a channeler, and wondering whether this is valid or false in some way. Your ability to marshal divine truth about things will serve you again and again in many ways, to not only convey important spiritual principles but to be a true representative of the divine by being in divine alignment, and holding within you, divine wisdom of all kinds. The divine realm, first and foremost, needs people to speak for us and to be advocates in human form. That is what is required to deal with the world, for the most part. So you need the training, the seasoning, the knowledge, and the wisdom to comport yourself with confidence and effectiveness as you go about your work, in reaching others and helping them in various ways. Dealing with the issue of doubt and facing it head-on is the very best way to obtain that seasoning. It forces you to learn the deep truths and have them become a part of you, in the same way that one never learns any subject until they are able to teach it to others. That is the acid test, so to speak, whether you truly understand the concepts and have the information at your fingertips. Until you can teach it, you likely do have gaps in your understanding and your involvement will be more on the shallow end than the deep end, so it is a good test of where you stand in your divine growth and expression as physical human. You can see this in your dealings with beings in the light, that all have a working understanding of the divine principles of things and can hold forth in a highly effective way as a spokesperson for the divine motivation, the origin of things, and how the divine way applies to any circumstance. And this is because they are steeped in spiritual truth and wisdom and are, in their way, knowledgeable experts. They have varying means of expression and talents for communication, and so on, which are soul attributes and will vary in degree of cultivation and sophistication, based on the way they are expressing their being when you interact, and whether their focus is on teaching or simply being called to do so on the spur of the moment. But nonetheless, this shows the goal for enlightenment to bring all up to a level of having a commanding grasp of divine wisdom, and this, as well, illustrates the virtue of your enterprise for the GetWisdom project and its outreach to others. You are offering enlightenment in a practical starter form. For some, it will be a continuation, but however one chooses to return to the divine path, it will serve them and will serve you as well in adding good karma to the world, and is a win-win-win for you, who you interact with, and for the light.
