So Buck tell me this you have a problem with a religious group who are evangelical Christians and they tell people the only way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ? Are you mad that they are firm in their beliefs and tell people what they believe is true or that they just don't accept all religions and hold hands and sing Kumbaya? This tolerance crap is what is putting down the drain. Who cares if you don't like the way they are spreading what they believe at least they have the balls to stick with what they believe.
I personally found most of them to be lower IQ and creepy acting, but like I said... Once I heard what they had to say and that they essentially were personally condemning the rest of the world along with 87% of Christians, including their head coach, to eternal Damnation for not believing their interpretation of the Bible... I decided to not associate with them. Especially when their mouths didn't correlate with their actions.
Beyond that, I could care less... Yet, I am not surprised that they are being called out and am surprised it took this long.
...and as far as preaching their word... It seems to me they are seeking validation as much as wanting to help others... But that is another discussion...

just so I'm on the same page, is that interpretation you're talking about that the only way to Heaven is to accept Jesus as your savior?
Because like dawgslife said...there really isn't any debate about that, from a Christian perspective. That is the only way, period.
Granted, some Christians are AWFUL at relating that message. Some do it in completely piss poor ways. But that interpretation isn't something they just sat down and came up with, it's basically the one basic, fundamental, bottom line tenant of the entire religion.

Peter, I will admit that I am and Evangelical Christian. But somewhere along the way you have gotten the wrong idea about what that means, I THINK. Evangelicals are not condemning 87% of the rest of the Christians. The only difference is that Evangelicals actively tell people about their faith.
They do not condemn other Christians that do not do that.
Here it is in a nutshell:
A person who believes that Jesus came down to earth and died on the cross for their sins, then rose from the dead three days later, and turns their life over to Jesus/God is a Christian.
Whether you witness or not...or whether you are baptized through immersion or sprinkled...none of that matters. (We DO believe all Christians should witness in some way. We think it is Biblical) All of that said, I can only add that perhaps those people you ran into at college were young, inexperienced and a bit too aggressive. typically I do not walk up to people and begin witnessing to them. I normally wait until approached with a question and just state what I believe. People I work around know I am a Christian because they ask what i did over the weekend and I mention that I attend church. You would be surprised how often they come back later and ask me questions about my faith. I know I have been surprised. I hate it when people have bad experiences, but it happens.
