Hmph. I know several churches full of people who need to see this. Penn is absolutely right. Proselytizing is important if that's what you believe, but notice that this good man proselytized with an attitude of respect and from a perspective of friendship. I've never known any Christian who does that, sadly.

I guess he's right. But then again, proselytizing is annoying.

I got a "one year bible" for Christmas from my parent's religious friend. I was just slightly amused by it. For some reason I think if I got her a atheist book for Christmas she would have been deeply offended.

I find few things as stupid as someone getting offended by someone else's beliefs. It's one thing to be offended when someone does something intended to cause offense (spitting, certain gestures, mocking your mother's weight, etc), but totally ridiculous to get pissy because someone else thinks their beliefs are correct and worth sharing. Annoyed, sure, be annoyed; it's easy to annoy people without intent. But offended? Sorry, but if you're a person who finds proselytizing offense, then you are stupid and plainly very insecure.

I'm sure there are genuinely altruistic people like this. But for every one of these there are a dozen who spout their beliefs with a self-serving heir of superiority and arrogance as if they have been blessed with a level of understanding that you have not. The kind of people who will only resort to even implying or seemingly wanting to save you from eternal damnation when they get backed into a corner while arguing for their faith.

Then there are the rest, who are purportedly 'Christians' yet seemingly have no interest in 'saving' anyone else. You could probably say that makes the most selfish about the whole matter and that could be true, but to me that or less implies they don't genuinely believe half of what they claim to and are in it for the philosophical elements they pick and choose. Or are mindless sheep that have never really independently contemplated their own existence.
