I don't think a person who truly believes and really does want to save me through God is a bad person. But how many times do you want someone telling you a truck is going to hit you when there's no evidence a truck is there.
Thanks for responding, Ely.
I agree with you that the truck analogy is not feasible. If a Christian followed that analogy to its logical conclusion, then they would be a constant annoyance trying to force others into Christianity, which I do not think is the Christian thing to do.

I don't doubt it. That is sad, though.

I certainly understand. That is why if someone tells me they do not want to talk about such issues, I try to respect that.

I agree.

I hear you loud and clear.
