It is our duty and privilege to share the message, to all, of salvation through Christ crucified.
That's our job, everyone's else's job is to choose to believe or not.

Don't try to tell me what my job is, and in return I'll let you be free to do yours.
Deal?
And do you 'get' the principle?

"tpaine, you've already made it quite clear you're an atheist. You've already made a choice. That was your job, and you performed it admirably...."
Billy, it is obvious you don't get the constitutional principle here.
You're attempting to tell me that my job is being an 'athiest'. -- And that yours is to set me straight.
I'm not your athiest, and if you persist in that lie, you aren't a Christian, - nor much of an american, -- in any sense of those words.

I think you're putting too much weight on my use of the word "job". I'll rephrase it-- My choice is to share the Message, you're free to respond to it or not.
We all make choices. I've made mine; you've made yours. I think you truly want to believe that Christians want to control other's lives. How boring. My task isn't to set you straight. My task is to set me straight. What you do is up to you.
And I truly see that you're nobody's atheist but your own....
