"But after all is said and done, what if you are wrong and he is right? You are perfectly within your rights to b left alone and not be annoyed, but if I were heading toward a path of eternal torment and damnation, I'd sure hope that there were mobs of people trying to get my attention no matter how rude they were. The real question is whether or not the substance of the message is correct and true. "

Hmm...first you say that I'm within my rights to be left aloen, then you equivocate. I do not care if I am wrong and he is right. I insist on being left alone during flights, no matter what the person next to me wants to natter on about.

That is the real question. I tried to politely ask the person to leave me alone several times. He did not. So, I said something that shut him up for the rest of the flight.

You're welcome to believe whatever you wish. Please show me the courtesy to disbelieve when we are in a public conveyance.

But we are not now in that "mode". You are "discussing" it. You did not ask me to not post anything to you about Jesus. In fact that would be absurd. That renders my post relevant and far from any sort of equivocation. I am dealing with this forum and responding within it.

You would be well advised to either defend your nonsensical atheistic view (to which you are entitled, and notice I said atheism is nonsense, not you), or simply stop posting. That way you'd model the very behavior you desired of the annoying Christian on the plane. Keep the two separate as they really are. The plane experience was one event. Your decision to raise it here and discuss it is another and quite distinct event.
