Not trying to pile on you Everett, but Christianity...and all morality...is based on The Golden Rule

That implies empathy for others and is the greatest tool to create a harmonius society

If as a Christian you spoke in those terms....and not in terms of ....I am right and you are going to hell if you don't believe like I do...it will be better received.

People might even see your path as one they want to follow...emulate your goodness

No one walks a path with someone carrying a baseball bat they use freely on others if they "get out of their line"...

But feed them, nurture them, bring them around with love.....that is IMO the Christian way



edit---just read the above post

I accept what you say as your truth, and simply urge you to consider using love instead of a threat of eternal violence, hellfire and damnation to bring others to your POV
