No, only on the one posted on THEIR door! They left the one on the xtian's turf severly alone.
I think those losers in your apartment building need to all be missionaries to short-tempered cannibals. Their type tires me. I am ashamed to be at all associated with them, no matter how fully they would disown me. Christians are supposed to trust like children, not act like children.
Although I do understand what Maranda said, I don't agree. True, they have been trained and programmed for this. I've been in a similar situation, and I understand the mindset a little. If you really think that the person next door is going to burn for eternity, then you want to do something about it. But I also think you are right to be angry with these people. Just because someone is about to do something you believe is fatally dangerous is no reason to be rude and stupid about it. There are far more effective ways to handle it. Making the "damned" person angry is not one of the best ways to make them listen to you.
Anyway, if they feel they have to do anything to make you accept God, they are showing an intrinsic lack of trust in God. Don't they know that one person can never change another? Can they even change themselves? No! Only God can do that, according to our faith. And he gives us the choice to reject him. Why do so many of his people refuse to give others the same choice? If you have a way of safety to offer those in danger, show it to them, and then respect God and that person's intelligence enough to let them work it out for themselves. And if the person ends up choosing a way that you don't want them to, don't get all bent out of shape. They have the right of choice, and besides, their life isn't over yet. Let God do his job, and don't try to play God yourself.
There. I've kept quiet for a bit to see what others had to say on the subject, but I couldn't keep shut up any longer. These are my views on "evangelism", and the dipsticks who force themselves on others. I hope I've practiced what I preach.
