Necro, nicely done piece! I agree with you. It seems to me that any reasonably intelligent person can find and seek their own spiritual path if they are interested in doing so, and so I’ve never quite understood the door-to-door evangelizing thing. And, just as we are all very different, spiritual pathways are not one size fits all.

Keep the great posts coming!

Necroswordsman, I agree with what you are saying 100%. I only talk about my faith when asked and would hope I am a good representative of it. The worst types of religious people are the in your face ones…bad representatives.

Billy said: “Iâ€™ve heard more athiest pushing their beliefs on others lately than Christians and they get mad when Christianity comes up.”

I can agree there. But a real atheist won’t spend their time on arguing about something they don’t believe in according to an atheist I know. He sounds very similar to Necroswordsman. My friend calls these atheists “closeted agnostics”.

Again, good post.

I agree those fear tactics just don’t work.
Jesus and John his cousin had masses of people gathered to listen to the wisdom they were teaching and not the gloom and doom message.

I get what you’re saying, Billy. I’m fine about spreading the word of your religion. I’m fine. There’s a difference to spreading teaching, and yelling at people they’re going to hell if they don’t follow you.

Hey Nercoswordsman with repect since I came to read your blog and you are talking about religion then I should be able to reply without being considered pushing it on you.

Those who follow the bible or try to have been asked to spread the word. That is a command to them.
Though there is a time and place for all things we must remember that a real believer is wanting to share something that could change your life for the better, in his eyes.

Since spreading the word was a command of Jesus, they are only doing what they believe is right. And not everyone will accept them. I’ve heard more athiest pushing their beliefs on others lately than Christians and they get mad when Christianity comes up.

As for hell.. its very controversial and from what I’ve read and studied.. Hell is most always interpreted from geek and hebrew as simply the grave.. Hell is where we all go.

The only time it wasn’t the grave was when Jesus was talking in a parable and it related back to a place near the dead sea which people in the old days knew it was a place of death and just outside the promise land with a breach seperating th two places.

If this is truth then its wouldn’t be bad to say we are all going to die and we will all go to the grave. The difference is that some will be risen from the grave(hell) to live forever.

Jesus went to hell(grave) and defeated death by rising again so that every man can rise again one day.

Hope this helps without offense.
