The statement was "It's Christians gig to proselytize", not evangelize. I think most people assume "proselytize" means going up to people who don't want to hear it and saying things like "Did you know you're going to hell if you don't Come To Jesus?"
Evangelizing is a much broader term with more of an "attraction rather than promotion" connotation.

You sound like an anti-Christian bigot. "Proselytize" means convert. No more, no less. Those on this thread who equate evangelism with harrassment are anti-Christian bigots, plain and simple.
Glad to see this thread isn't spinning out of control.
I do miss RCW2001, he was more entertaining.
I'm sorry I had to laugh when I read that. I'm Jewish. Sitting in a restaurant one day with my kids (Red Robin in Hurst, Texas), a woman came up to me and asked me how I felt about condemning my children to hell.
Yes I was wearing a Star of David. Yes I was eating and minding my own business. No I did nothing to attract her attention OTHER than be wearing a necklace.
Anyway -- she blabbered for about 10 minutes about how I and my children (as well as my husband since apparently he's not a good enough Christian since I'm not converted) are all going to hell.
*sigh*
