[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I taught my kids to never discuss religion with anyone. If asked, just say “my religion is private” and change the subject. We live in a multiethnic and diverse society. Kids should not be talking about religion! [/quote]

That’s fine for your house.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
And the Bible instructs Christians to go and be fishers of men. This is a major tenet of the Christian faith.
Now how this is accomplished is absolutely up for debate. Some believe living by example is just fine—that they will know Christians by what we do in love and then will choose to follow Christ.
Some (more evangelical) denominations insist that no—the directive is more literal and the conversation must be had and evidence of Christ shared through direct conversation.

But either way, the “whatever works for you” approach is not Biblical at all.

So do what your religion instructs you to do. But just know that Christians are explicitly instructed to share their faith so that ALL may choose to walk in the light of Christ.[/quote]

And there's the rub. Your "instructions" from your god include bothering others with your crap, and yes, sometimes it's considered abusive. Another reason I don't want to know christians anymore (I have hundreds of those reasons)[/quote]

Please know that knowing or liking me or ANY Christian or anyone who professes to be Christian is not requisite to salvation. (Thankfully!—as we are ALL sinners fully capable of offending and doing the exact opposite of what Gid instructs us to do!)

But I do pray that you will come to know and love Christ and develop a relationship with Jesus. As He is the answer.[/quote]

And I hope that you will stop clinging to your fairy tales and get a life. Step back and consider for a minute how silly all this stuff is. [/quote]

Not silly to me at all.
It’s wisdom and truth. But I do t get upset about it or get angry AT others who don’t believe as I do.[/quote]

The only truth is that you are an ignorant man.[/quote]
