I think when Lou is saying "I did this" and "I think that" he is not really prosyletizing. However, when the 'you' statements begin...that's different, ie, 'will you join me' and 'you can find peace this way or that way.'
I think all gates posts belong on the faith board, and anything else with religious content should go there, too. I rarely go there, and don't read Lou's posts anyway after a frustrating time of trying to nudge the gates story out of him.
If I twist off someday and start answering everyone's posts with responses about coffee enemas, I figure I'd just have a little while before being completely ignored, because people would know what I was going to say anyway, and the repetition would get old, I think. But, as long as I am just saying, I do coffee enemas for that problem or situation, it's not really proseyletizing, imo. But, when I start suggesting others do it too, and provide step-by-step directions on how to do it, in every post I write, that's prosyletizing to me. And, it wouldn't be very sensitive to others who had heard it 30 times already and need real help.
Just MO.
