There's this big war to defend the "American way of life" when people in America itself cannot live the way they choose to, without being damned to hell by people on the streets for not converting to christianity!
In the interest of Harmony and peoples rights to their way of life, should proselytising be banned?

Why should a christian's rights as an individual include harassing other people who don't proselytise?

I'm not recommending freedom of speech be curtailed! People are free to criticise the govt, write about stuff, speak from podiums to a willing audience! Why do they stop people on the streets, when other religions are not doing that!

1. Yes. It is an attack.
2. "damned to hell" can only done by God not by "people on the streets".
3. No. There will be lots of "Harmonized" people in hell.

Ignore it and politely refuse. Nobody is making you convert. Free speech and free expression apply to all groups and cannot be subverted in the name of collective concepts of group-based rights, special rights for religious minorities, a dislike of faith, any vague concepts of a dominant culture and whatever Leftist logic they throw around.

Wellgee.....God tells us.......commands us to 'preach the word to all who will listen' If you don't want to listen, don't.
In your line of thinking......when you...( anysalesperson ) approach me to sell me something, a car, furniture, etc., wouldn't that be the same thing?
You and everyone else in the world does this in some form or another.
Christian are "selling" or offering for free really, salvation much like you and others approach people in stores , etc. to sell merchandise

I believe that you need 3000mg's of vitamin C instead of the govt recommended 60 mg's....
Do you hate me for saying you are deficient?
All I want to do is help people, and people need Christ more than vitamins...
I apologize for those of us with no tact...

I'm not much of a proselytizer myself, but this is America, where yes, even Christians have freedom of speech.

Well, as a nonchristian, I would be foolish in thinking we should ban their proselytizing.....because a ban of their freedoms is a ban on mine.....so I just say no thanks and keep moving.
