re: Group accuses Mark Richt of using “public office” to raise money for Christian..

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.
