Curious that Pro-life Republicans would try to persuade pro-abortion Republicans to adopt their view.

Curious that people who believe in rule of law would try to convince those who believe in pure unfettered democracy (mobocracy) to adopt their point of view.

Curious that Liberals would go into the newspaper/television news business.

This all speaks volumes!!!

We all believe that any idea, any truth that we believe will help others and/or make a better society is worth sharing. Some people just want to muzzle that which they don't want to hear, which testifies to the truth of the Christian message. Why would people so oppose a teaching that results in human rights, sacrificial service for others, a healthier society, economic prosperity and the propagation of ideas by moral persuasion rather than at the point of a gun? The teaching of Christianity is that there is an element of evil darkness in the world that rejects the light and exists in, and holds in bondage, every human being apart from the grace of God. The mission of Christianity is to tell everyone that through faith in Christ they can be free from that bondage to evil. If this message is true how can anyone expect a Christian to not share it with others, including within Christian cultures, where this is not fully understood?

Secular humanists and merit based religious systems like Islam reject Chritianity partly because the implication that there is an evil within ourselves that requires us to seek God's grace is highly offensive to those biased by that evil.

The question was not concerning Christians spreading the message but Protestant Christians attempting to convert Coptic and Orthodox Christians. Since they are already Christian, any attempts to convert them serves the interests of those attempting the conversion and their interests alone.
