re: #74 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

my catholic upbringing made me skeptical of religion but it was the Campus Crusade for Christ assholes in our dormitories that really put me off Christianity for a very long time.

It was not until years later that I met some people who quietly lived their Christian faith, professing it without preaching it, that got me to appreciate the positive aspects of it (although not enough to convert me or)

Evangelicals are all about that in-your-face, turn-or-burn message that always rubbed me the wrong way. It’s like they think you can’t be converted unless they’re holding a (metaphorical or literal) gun to your head. I’m not sure whatever happened to the concept of, “Let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven.”
