Picture this: You believe that someone is walking towards a cliff. You aren't sure if there actually is a cliff, you only believe that it is one ahead. You can't prove that there is a cliff, short of running ahead and screaming your descent down. Would you want to warn the other person even though you had no proof?
Now, for a minute, discard any notions that Christianity is stupid or wrong. I know that you may think that Christians are uneducated, ecetera. I must admit that Christianity could very well not be real and we can't prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, either.
But we Christians do believe that heaven and hell are real. It is not just a game or a fairy tale to us. How could we sit by, in good concience, and say nothing when if we are right, people will be punished with eternal damnation?
If you have a reason why Christians (and no one else) should quit speaking openly about their beliefs, I'd like to hear it.
