Don't worry. Nobody is gonna go Jihad on your butt.

Good heavens (er...so to speak). I would certainly hope not.

Consider this, if someone truly believes in Jesus, Salvation, Heaven and Hell, the most evil thing they could do is to resist sharing the Gospel with you. Think about it. How much would they have to hate you in order to not warn you?

In previous conversations of this sort, I've had many people tell me (essentially) "Oh, yeah? Well, you're going to Hell to be tortured for all eternity! What do you think of that?"

Heck, that's already happened on this thread.

Sometimes, though (not nearly as often as the former) someone seems to genuinely care about the status of my soul, and makes a sincere attempt at conversion. It normally ends with them saying that they're going to pray for me, and with me thanking them for their good wishes.

And on that note, I'm going to have to call it. As fun as this is, I'd like to actually accomplish something today. I have Father's Day presents to buy, and paperwork to go through to purchase a silencer.

(In terms of federal background checks and forms to fill out, it's similar to buying a machine gun. Whee.)

People, including Christians, are flawed due to our fallen state. I try to share the Gospel in a manner which doesn't insult. Sometimes I succeed.

If you haven't read it, check out C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity" and Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ."

You might be surprised.

Oh yeah, choking and pleading for water is so dignified.
