    The religious sect are evangelicals, not evangelists.

    A sincere Christian evangelist doesn’t want you to go to Hell - The thing is, we completely believe in it and we are warning you about what we believe is inevitable. The most hateful thing we could do is not warn you about it.

      Yeah that’s a pretty thin hair when Americans read about evangelicals protesting soldier funerals.

      Or like it was at college where they literally ran around the public areas looking to interrupt any same sex PDA.

      I know there are people who recruit respectfully and inclusively. I’ve met them. But we all have more exposure to the other kind.

        I understand what you mean, and I am sorry that you have to put up with these horrendous individuals.

        Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.’
