Agreed. Jesus did not approach groups of people or individuals who resisted His teachings either, so it's ironic that a lot of Christians think they have to be aggressive at every opportunity.

No ****, but the evangelists need to cut it out.

And it's my business to ask them if they've heard the Good News, and then hand them a copy of The God Delusion.

Like I told BD as digusted with these types of people are you guys are they genuinely think they are helping you.You cannot understand why they want to feed you the bible , they don't understand why you dont want to eat it.

I was a Christian until I was 16 and while I did have legitimate concerns about people's 'souls' I always thought that the evangelical approach to be uncalled for, even if it comes from a good place. I had a friend basically tell me I was going to super hell for apostasy when I told him about my conversion. That approach just makes you an *******.

They should learn how to read then. Still a fine piece of wisdom regardless.
