In relation to the part of [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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)

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. :)
