Of Unbelievers: An objective hearing, if interested, and the uncoerced excercise of free will.
Of Believers in Christ: Obedience, frequent relaxed converstions and growth to maturity.

Unbelievers - Not sure but Solomon said this ..
Ecc 3:10-13 I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith. He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

To love, obey and honor him as our creator.

Then he/she/it should show itself and speak up. Coincidentally, such "shyness" at coming forwards is what I'd expect if "God" didn't exist!

It'll have to do better than that if it wants a fair hearing from me 🙂

Curious phrase as well as choice of preposition. Does "body" connote plural as in 'student body' or 'body of knowledge' or did "body" become unhitched from the word 'anybody'? What is it for a body to belong to a particular subject? Could you possibly recast your sentence stating your message using different words or confirm that your meaning if in fact conveyed by the plural?
