If you knew about Rick’s teaching you would know who he is- also where in the statement did he talk about Jesus?
I know how to read.
The Bible says to judge what is wrong... and false teachings. If that offends you, that is about you, not me.
I never said that it was not sad. We can pray all we want for atheists and feel terrible about it, but that isn’t going to save them.
As for your witness, try compassion; it feels better for both the giver and the receiver. Without it, you can hardly expect someone to judge you "salt and light." Salt, maybe; but where's your light of mercy?
