[quote=Anonymous][quote]Busted. Telling people to up their meds just makes you look even more sad and needy.

PS. Re your cut-and-pastes, even evangelists know better than to quote the King James bible at people. That might have worked in the 1800s. But these days, even the secret fire and brimstone types know don't convert people by tongue-lashing them.... Get with it, troll[/quote]

I said to reduce meds, not up them.  The point being that someone who thinks a Christian quoting from the Bible is bogus speech is a person who is not thinking clearly. 
 Overly-medicated could be the cause of such thinking.

Quoting the King James Bible, or any version, is telling people what the Bible says.  Some people think all Jesus said is love love love and that if you smile emough and be happy enough the sunshine god in the sky will bring you to heaven with him.

That is false.

Furthermore, it is the Holy Spirit which convicts a person of sin, not anything a person does.

Some people need a good tongue-lashing to jolt their senses, to wake people up from the false sense of security they have.  Many seem to think  "Well, I am good person and that is all it takes for me to get to heaven. Just think about being good and trying to be good."   They have such thoughts even if they are a liar, a whore, a murderer, an abusive, violent drunk, or a homosexual.

The bible says otherwise.  You get to heaven only by calling upon the name of Jesus to cleanse you of your sins.  If you become a legitimate Christian you will eschew the aforementioned sinful behaviors.

These days, too many Christians are too milk-toast in their evangelism.  They think if they play rock-n-roll music at church trying to win over the stoner crowd, and think by telling people being a Christian is a peaceful life and you go to heaven where it's even more peaceful, that all this will win converts.

We can see the declining membership in churches that this weak, milk-toast approach does not work.  Most people are already comfortable and lead pleasant lives.  They have no fear for their soul.
