In relation to the part of theferrett's post which did bother me (when it went from 'people should be able to talk about their religion' to 'people should let other people try to convert them'):

http://www.livejournal.com/users/amaltheae/32016.html - pointed to by ysabel.

_I_ may not have been able to be sufficiently coherent about that part (and that's not the main point I got from Ferrett's post, either - I more got and agreed with the part about not having instant nasty reactions to people being Christian), but someone was! Yay!


(Also, I'm home sick today. Working from home, but still home sick. Bleh)

Amy rocks. She said pretty much all of what I wanted to say, only with far less vitriol.

*pleased smile* Hot drinks good, yes.

(speaking of which, I should make myself some...)

I feel like I've had such a sheltered life. ;) I've never even seen such forceful conversion attempts as described in that post.

I tend to agree with most of what was said in amaltheae's post -- I think living in a way that you believe is good/right, and letting others observe the good aspects of your choices, is the best way to "convert."

I've never even seen such forceful conversion attempts as described in that post.

I've never encountered it in a place where I couldn't get away from it, and have only encountered some of the 'won't leave you alone' types of stuff.

But I knew far worse examples existed...

I would just like to note that when I earlier stated that people had the right to try and convert I had in mind non invasive, non forceful version of "convert". I have no tolerance for the kind of forceful actions described in the post you pointed to.

I knew what you meant. :)
