I ask because the type of cliches and phrases being used over and over again suggest posters are repeating material or scripts they're been taught by someone else.
Unfortunately the "quality" of witnessing resulting from this approach is just plain embarassing!
Arguments, Bible bashing and continued use of cliches will not convert anyone ... in my experience.
Evangelicals and fundamentalists please stop embarassing the rest of us with your homophobia and ignorance.
If you do not have the gift of preaching please go offline, perform good works, and learn better rhetorical and reasoning skills.
Clearly from the quality of many questions and answers some people think they do have the skills, when they certainly do not, and the same criticism about skills, applies to many non Christians and atheists posting here!
Stop trying to convert each other!

N.B. to Christians!
Read the question again. I didnt say stop witnessing! I asked people to learn to witness more skillfully.
Note to others does anyone know where the Fundie Spam Monster lives so we can slay it and free its slaves?
Loved the line about the Fundie Spam Monster!

Why do you think I put " " around witnessing?

They used to always leave religious "tracts" in the eastern religion and gay and lesbian section of the bookstore I worked at. Now imagine their outrage if people began leaving gay and lesbian literature or "tracts' on Buddhism or Hinduism in the Christian section?
They (fundamentalists, not Christians in general) are brainwashed to recite the same meaningless arguments (Pascal's Wager, The Watchmaker's Argument, etc.) and truly believe they can trample all over the rights of others because it is for the greater good. Sounds a little like Nazism if you ask me.

And NO you will never ever change this!

You are still blind and immature for this site. They are not trying to convert, alright maybe some. Whats wrong with them trying to convert. Let them try and learn from their failure. Who knows, one might be converted .
