Does the Bible support doing that?

This goes for people of all religions and non-believers.

They do, when my son was born premature we hung the only thing we had with us over his incubator, my husband's pentacle. We were told we were bad parents, and one of the nurses told my sister to call social services. I have religious tatoos on my wrists and frequently get compliments on them, until they ask what they mean, then I get the "going to hell" speech or the "you are harming your kids speech". My hubby and I have different faiths, we don't teach our children religion, we teach them to understand how people in the world believe and how that determines their view of the world but we are insulted, yelled at and told about how bad we are nearly every day, always by Christians (an off-shoots like JW and Mormons). Muslims leave us be or seem interested in what we believe, Jews are usually interested, others don't really care.

When I was a Christian people from other churches would harass me all the time trying to convert me to their brand of Christianity, but not now. Now I just tell them i am Wiccan, and they get a funny look an their face and just walk away.

I stay out of the public eye as much as I can here. This area is known for not just harassment of pagans but death threats. property destruction and maybe worse. It can be very unpleasant and even dangerous to be open about being nonchristian. Blessed Be.

Yes they do, the Bible tells them to bear witness to him, spread the good word. I have them knocking on my door and leaving pamphlets in my letterbox, even on my car window in parking lots! I've also received e-mails from R&S zealots who don't like an answer I've given to one of their questions.

Yes.
I am a Christian, and am not immune to annoying, mislead, (possibly well meaning) unsolicited encounters by other Christians.
I think that the best evangelism or advancement of Christianity is to conduct yourself in a Christian fashion in every day affairs, and be ready to engage in conversation on spiritual matters should any one ask.

D - different i'm quite gentle sharing my beliefs with others. even if, i think no neee to promote it. If it comes up clearly in communique, then i visit communicate it. IF we enter a religious communicate, i visit surely aspect out it. yet in simple terms because you aspect out God or faith doesn't unavoidably advise i am going to aspect out my faith. it ought to fullyyt count number on the context. as an party, if we narrowly neglected being in an twist of destiny and also you suggested "God could were looking for us!" there is not any reason behind me to contradict or debate you on the point. that ought to easily be impolite on my aspect and searching for an argument.
