Those that do evangelize are trying to make others believe their beliefs, why shouldn't those that disagree be able to respond?
That's true. It is absolutely wrong to try to make others believe what you believe. But I don't consider evangelicals 'moderately religious.' This is an example of going too far with religion. And I know it's in the bible, and that many other unacceptable teachings are also in the bible. But people who are moderate in their beliefs recognize that the bible was written in another time and that not every one of its teachings is something to be listened to.
