Catholics vs. Evangelicals?

[athrock]

Now, you know which is worst.  Evangelicals are far worst, because, out of love, we wish that no one will suffer for eternity.  If you were drowning, would you want someone to throw you a life preserver,  even though you don't believe in life preservers? Out of love, we must throw that life preserver to those who are drowning.  Not only does our God wish it, but we, who know the love of Christ, wish to love our neighbors to the point that they understand the need for a Savior and turn to Christ and live.

You have it mostly correct. Evangelicals are worse because they make the moronic assumption that we don't accept your claim because we haven't heard about it at all or enough, or just haven't evaluated it properly.

Some have heard and disagree, but it may be that some have heard the claim, have evaluated it properly, and simply don't want to abide by it.

To use your analogy, you are throwing a life preserver that promptly sinks to the bottom.

Bad logic. If it sinks, then it's not actually a life preserver, is it?

And just out of curiosity, how is it that the message that theists extend (I don't really care which flavor you choose - Bahai, Jehovah's Witness or Sourthern Baptist) actually kills the recipient of that message? (I've never really understood the "religion ruins everything" thing...sounds like a marketing slogan for people who don't think much beyond soundbites.)
