I don't like prostelytizing, and I hate being prostelytized. It's too much of a sales pitch.

Personally, I like conversations with people who don't think the same way as I do, because it gives me a chance to learn; and the only constant thing I have learned is that there are far more similarites than differences.

Besides it's God who converts, I'd rather have a beer(or coffee...or tea), and conversation

*nods* I definitely think it's interesting to talk to people who think differently than I do. Particularly considering that the only way to talk to someone who thinks exactly the same way you do is to talk to yourself. ;)

Yeah, my thing I think is that some people tend to be so ready to be offended. I'm not even OFFENDED when someone tries to talk to me about God or convert me necessarily... especially if it's some guy on the street. I'm offended if someone treats me like there's something wrong with me because I'm not like them, y'know?

no doubt...

last year around race time, ian, doug, and myself went to the circle to visit carrie at work. some guy came up to us with a track, which prompted, doug and myself to make a few snide remarks about his salesmanship, but ian engaged him. Ian said that we were all christians, and this guy went into an interrogation as to where we went to church. I knew where this was going: He was seeking out if were "real" christians like him, and not counterfeits. that just made me mad.
