As I was getting my mail, I was approached by a girl and a guy holding bibles. They were out trying to win people to Christ.

Here is how it went in a condensed version:

Them: We would like to know what church you attend.
Me: None, I don't go to church.

Them: Oh? Do you believe in God?
Me: No, I don't. Never have....

Them: We would like to win you to Christ. There is so much you may be missing and we would like to show you the way. Have you ever read the bible?
Me: Yes, I have read it, but I am not interested in being "won" to Christ or the Christian faith.

Them: Your life could improve with prayer and in many other areas. We have testimonies ourselves to share with you if you would hear them.
Me: Hmmmmm..... I might be interested, but I am very happy right now as a non-believer.

Them: Yes! Christ can make you very happy indeed. You also will feel his strength and love that he has shown for all of us. Did you know that He died for you?
Me: Well, I am a very happy person and I see myself as accepting all faiths. I also have a lot of acceptance for many, many groups and their ways of life. I try not to think bad of other faiths

Them: You can still have all that and more with Christ in your heart. It would magnify your love for everyone.
Me: Ok then, can I believe that no one is a sinner? Can I believe that everyone would go to heaven? Can I believe that homosexuality is perfectly natural? Can I believe that all faiths are correct? Can I believe exactly what I read in the bible? Such as God killed all his creation with a flood, including babies? Can I believe in abortion? I mean if god can kill millions of babies, then it must be ok right? Can I believe that there is no hell? Can I believe in sex and NO marriage?

Them: Why would you want to believe in all those horrible things? How can you say you are happy with such a dark heart?

At this point, they tried for another 5 min and then they told me that I may be "sorry" for not listening to them when Christ comes back.

I guess that was some kind of a warning......

Easy. Through words formed by my un-controlled-by-4000-year-old-nomadic-shepards'-tribal-superstitions brain.

LOL tdkeyser..... all I could think when I saw your thread title was "dude...they so picked the wrong guy to witness to!!!"

I like how you kinda strung 'em along for a couple minutes before pulling out the big guns.
