But after all is said and done, what if you are wrong and he is right? You are perfectly within your rights to b left alone and not be annoyed, but if I were heading toward a path of eternal torment and damnation, I'd sure hope that there were mobs of people trying to get my attention no matter how rude they were. The real question is whether or not the substance of the message is correct and true.

"His" hell may be The Hell. What if it is? If not, (and I was not there to hear his description, of course) then how do you know it is not?

As a Catholic, let me say that I am FED UP with fundamentalists who have decided that everyone who doesn't believe as they do is going to hell. And, because of that, the fundamentalist thinks it's his job to muscle or scare that person into loving God.

You do no good with this kind of warped thinking and behavior; in fact, you turn off more people than you help.

But, you guys never learn and continue to drag down real evangelism with your bullying tactics.

Hmm...first you say that I'm within my rights to be left aloen, then you equivocate. I do not care if I am wrong and he is right. I insist on being left alone during flights, no matter what the person next to me wants to natter on about.

That is the real question. I tried to politely ask the person to leave me alone several times. He did not. So, I said something that shut him up for the rest of the flight.

You're welcome to believe whatever you wish. Please show me the courtesy to disbelieve when we are in a public conveyance.
