and the lady behind me holds up this little booklet advertising thingy and says something to me. I go.. "huh? what's that? I didn't hear you." And I look at the thing that she's holding up and it's titled "The beginning of The End" with a picture of a big ass explosion hitting the earth, so I was like "Oh yeah I saw this movie, it's where the astroid hits the earth, right?" And she looks at me and says "Have you accepted Jesus in your life?" ..... I almost fell down. lol, this was a first for me. All I said was "Has Jesus accepted me?" and proceeded to go to my booth.



blah.

And for you religious folk, don't flame me, I know Jesus has accepted me- it just seemed like the right thing to say to get her in a tizzy. lol.

All my life people kept telling me, "You have to save your soul, You have to save your soul." One day I man came to my door and asked me "Have you given your soul to Jesus Christ?" "HELL NO, I'm SAVING MY SOUL!!"

I agree I don't think certain things are appropriate, however this world as we know it will end someday and since you could die at any time why wait? Eternity is a long time...

Christianity is based on the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God.Evangelizing is preaching the Word of God. The book of Revelation comes to mind.
Preaching isn't telling people "it's about love", preaching is speaking the Word of God. Christ died because people hated His preaching.

I usually say something like, "I don't need to accept Jesus because I am Jesus and I don't accept you. Sinners like you will be case into the lowest levels of hell where you shall burn for an eternity." Then give an evil laugh like the guy in Braveheart after the inital barrage of arrows in the first battle.

It's about honesty. Don't try to lure people in by "sugar coating" what the Bible says. Deception is the Devil's vice.

The Devil is the Christian's (Also the Jews and Muslims) creation. It seems to me that the Bible and religion is all about deception. If you deceive people into being frightened by your myths the more likely you are to sway them into believing your B.S.

If you reread what UberDave initially posted, the asteroid was his suggestion, nonetheless.

"And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into th earth...and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea...And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;" Revelation 8:5,7-8, 10

Couldn't have said it better myself...

Christians, "You will die! Save your soul from eternal damnation"
Bush, "Terrorists will kill you, support war"

Clearly, we disagree. I recognize that the Bible is a historically accurate account of the Nation of Israel, contains a number of fulfilled prophecies, as well as prophecies that are in the process of being fulfilled, as well as scientific facts.
You believe that the Devil, the Bible, and religion are myths, I believe that the Devil causes you to believe that such is the case.

I believe in science, and my god says you're a poser. not trying to be a jerk, just showing the other side bluntly.

I've read the Bible and I believe every word. Even the stuff that contradicts with the other stuff.

My Bible keeps me warm at night as I sleep in separate beds from my devoutly religious wife for these 22 years in which we've had sex thrice and never in the pooper!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, that was probably a bit overboard. Anyone care to top it?
