Thank you to (most of) you who responded in the spirit I had hoped. (no pun intended!).

I hope that we can continue the thread this way, and I'm glad that we can at least *sometimes* express our opinions without being questioned or ridiculed.

I think many of the answers thusfar are fascinating. As a Christian who feels that I often fail at what I think is traditionally thought of as evangelism, I want to know how others honestly perceive the way we evangelize.
