Not all Christians use such approaches, in fact one of the things that drew me to the church I go to is the Pastors insistence that the very best way to reach out was not telling people that they are going to hell, but asking them if they would like to learn how they can go to heaven.
Well, I think the kids around me were simply being typical bratty little kids! But it is unfortunate that they chose to berate me about not going to church. It really did leave a distaste for the whole idea with me.
