Also, this person is not a member of this community. We generally put up with people who are a part of this community saying *almost* anything they want. But an outsider has a very short leash. Having a bot phish bbs sites spreading the gospel doesn't seem very Christian to me. Sometimes the methods taint the message...

Agreed. Can't say that one knows who this is. But you have to admit Todd, that any time one brings up religion from the Christian standpoint, it is ridiculed. I can't remember anyone admitting that they are muslim. That would probably get a different response than the ridicule.

Originally posted by nostatic For many, religion is a personal matter. And to some, having someone say "Jesus loves you" is an intrusion. Think of it as a violation of one's personal/spiritual space. What do you think would happen if someone came on here and said, "Allah loves you"?

Plenty of people having their space violated in terms of political or professional posts here. Saying that you believe your God cares about someone else is an "intrusion"? I think the target of the statement may feel offended if they don't believe in the same God, and feel like they are being considered inferior or "bad", but come on. This isn't even as offensive as someone taking off their shoes on an airplane or cutting farts. (can I say that?)
