I recently asked for your opinion on aggressive Christian proselytizing. Did the question offend you? If so, why?

I am not offended. I do resent unsolicited cold calls from Christians, credit card companies and political surveyors trying to get into my head!

Yes, it does offend me. It is inherently disrespectful of people's right to choose their own beliefs. Trying to convert someone to your religion requires the inherent supposition that your religion is superior to theirs, and that you know better than the person what is best for him/her. Frankly, we've all heard it before, and we made our choice. Leave us be.

No... because I don't know what proselytizing means o.o Now that I looked it up... it doesn't offend me at all. Actually, being a Christian, I have a couple of things to say about it. I do not think it is the religion, it's the person. There are some wonderful Christians and there are some close-minded ones.

Why should I or anyone else be offended? I recently answered a question about being accused of converting. I know it's controversial, but everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right includes freedom to change religion or belief. So, everybody may have an opinion about it or ask for it. Just keep asking nevets.
