Look, I've been noticing a steady incline in the posting of serious religious and political topics in areas which might otherwise be ill-suited for this sort of discussion, and then those who arne't interested in these sort of topics.
SO in a further attempt to try and keep everyone at least reasonably happy, I'm putting in a serious topic thread, feel free to post serious news pieces or to bring your hard-hitting, earth rumbling philisophical subjects in here.
enjoy.

Don't be onna those scary evangelist though... ya'know, the ones that just stand there all day screaming about how all of us are going to hell because we're wearing the wrong shade of brown or something like that. o_o
That one that they used to let onto State campus was really scary, though I'm surprised he didn't yell at me when I wore my kitty hat and had to walk passed him every day fall semester. rofl
He wasn't allowed back on campus after he chased down this one girl-- one of the nicest Christian girls you might ever meet, I might add-- and yell at her calling her a sinner and a whore and the more she cried the more he yelled at her. mad
Luckily, the biggest homosexual on campus was near and swooped in and saved her by facing him down. biggrin It was magical!

Phil Srobeighn Nah, we street preach in the bar districts, and we're not allowed to chase people down. I really hate the assumption that just because a person is IN the bar district that they automatically need salvation, because they obviously don't have it. I nearly left my Sundayschool class one week when the others were singing the praises of our ex-pastor for going into bars and evangilizing the obviously unsavory and near-pagan like patrons of such an establishment.

It's not so much of an assumption as a statistic. We've been doing this evangelism thing for 500 years, we know where we find the most people who need it.

yea, but relly all (good) Christianity actually asks of their people is to say (and mean) 'I loves me some jesus' and to live by a code of conduct that, for the most part, is already reinforced by society's taboo system anyhow.
I just don't see how you can get a honest confession of faith from someone who's chemically impaired.

I do believe that bar-area witnessing is akin to what I'm doing in the chatterbox: doing it to say, "Look, I converted !"

Why was it you have to convert # of people?
I don't mean in the sense that it's part of that class but rather why are you taking that class? You don't seem interested in accosting strangers and preaching to them on the off chance that they'll accept what you have said to them...

Degree Requirements. I have to take this class to get a degree from the seminary. Luckily it's the only feely-meely non-academic class I have to take. The rest is hardcore theology and Biblical languages.
