As much as I think perspective is good, I think respecting people's decisions, and respecting them as intelligent human beings able to make their own decisions is good also.
So while someone might ask me if I have accepted Jesus into my heart, or hands me what is essentially a Christian propaganda comic book while I'm on the job, I am probably not going to entertain it as the life-changing event evangelism would like it to be.
Spreading the word of God can be accomplished just as well by serving as a living and constant reminder-- an example of what Christianity can foster inside our hearts and souls.
I am not Christian. I don't think I ever will be. But I don't think either extreme, either dismissing the religion out of hand, or extolling its virtues consistently to unreceptive people, allows for that large degree of human capability.
Fuck you, cynics. Stop treating everyone like they're a stupid asshole and you'll stop creating stupid assholes.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
