Here, here!! As a Christian I'm advised in the Bible to "go & make disciples of all nations." What I have learned is that all you can do is present your point, & pray for people. Trying to shove it down someone's throat does nothing but cause strife, & turn people off to what you say. God Himself will not force anyone to believe, & gives us free will.
A friend of mine used to say that no one ever wins an argument. I think it would be best to close the door on this one before it gets out of hand; a lot of good things were said, & I, for one, don't want to see anyone defeat their own purpose.
Thanks for the wise advice, JohnB. Take care!
