I just spoke here. Yes, written "speak" but still speaking so to speak.
If you and I knew each other in person...I'd offer to speak to you face to face. If you were interested, we'd chat. I'd listen to your objections to God, I'd hope you'd listen to my reasons for believing.
If you were not interested, I'd respect your wish. And, from my perspective, we could still get along just fine.
What they fail to see is that scrupulous avoidance of government founded on Christianity is what has allowed Fundamentalism, among other Christian denominations, to thrive.

In other words, you would come to me and want to talk me about your religion.
That's invasive.
It's a sin.
Well, I guess we have different opinions about what "invasive" means. I see what I describe is two people sharing and communicating on a given subject---until one or the other is no longer interested in said communication.
Does this definition of invasive pertain exclusively to religion?

No. It pertains to any hawker of goods, services, or religion who does not ASK for "intervention".

Ok, let me make sure I understand...
As I said, in the scenario presented, you and I know each other. Maybe we work together.
So, if I were to come to you and say, "Phetaroi, I'd like to ask you a question if I may because I'm really interested in your opinion. Do you believe there is a God?" I'd be guilty of being a hawker of invasive sin? Yes?

Yes, whether we know each other or not, because you aren't interested in what I'll call his "freedom of opinion". You're actually interested in your own opinion. So you're being dishonest.
I thought I just explained that?
I'd offer to speak with you...if you resisted or rejected, I'd comply. Is that confronting?
Are you a Christian Fundamentalist?
