St. Francis once said something to the effect: "Evangelize always; sometimes use words." IOW, "Christian is as Christian does."

Tormenting people on the Internet gives exceptionally poor testimony to the validity of Christianity. Taking pleasure in torturing people is decidedly un-Christian. People who are secure in their belief don't need to engage in this kind of behavior. It's reminiscent of the aggressive atheists, whom Alan Watts characterized as: "There is no God, and I am His prophet."

If your goal were to convice, and ultimately to convert, you would temper your remarks so as to appeal to the intellect rather than to provoke an angry, emotional response. Bullying people doesn't convince them. It is, instead, the action of insecure people whose primary need is to convince themselves.

The pair of you are stellar examples of exactly the kind of posters FR would be improved without.

Yup. More irony.

It's usually the "find another hobby" lobby posters who ne'er say a single word to Lds missionaries spending 6 days a week imposing upon others with their doorbell rings & doorknocks.

Add it up. If 26,000 pairs of Lds missionaries make 40 contacts per day, that's over a million contacts per day -- 6 million per week.

Somehow, that doesn't seem to bother the "find another hobby" lobby.

But if a handful of FR posters makes 40 posts every few days; posts that don't carry a doorbell ring to it and don't have to be answered...that becomes for some reason so alarming.

Tell us Cantabile: Have you ever told Mormon missionaries to "find another hobby?" (If not, why not?) Why the discrepancy, especially when the Mormons are so more imposing?

Seems to me that 6 million-per-week imposing contacts is a LOT more bothersome than several hundred e-postings exposing the other side!
