I've gotta know: does insulting another religion actually win converts?
I was in the park with my kids when I was approached by two people, one of each gender. The man spoke first, so it took me a while to notice that the woman only had 3 front teeth, but this would not have totally dissuaded me from a church, and I might've given them a chance except that my wife and I attend one regularly, and I'm comfortable with that.
So I told him that my wife is LDS.
"But they're not REAL Christians," he answered. He then began to expound on tithing, lack of faith, and baby-eating (or something). I can't remember what all he said, but it amounted to: the LDS church is evil.
I'm not a member of the LDS church. I don't foresee myself becoming one, although that may change. But I'll be damned if I'm going to enter a church that flings mud at the others with even the vaguest conception that I might join.
Love thy neighbor, people.

Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog.
I am not LDS, but a good online friend of mine is. He is an awesome person, so I guess it works for him, so why should anybody try to convert him to something else?
Anyway, why people think they can harrass or trick a mature adult into changing religions is just beyond me. I've had people try to do that to me, and I have to admit I have zero tolerance for that. Personally I respect the person I'm talking to, their choices, and their spiritual journey. After all, it's not like I have a direct line to God and He tells me which denomination gets to go to Heaven and which ones go to Hell. I like to think He approaches people on an individual basis, you know?
