You won't find me on a christian forum, since I don't feel the need to be a missionary. But if a christian comes here offering unsolicited advice, I see no reason to hold back. It's on the same lines as JWs knocking on the door. I didn't ask for their visit and if you're honest, there's quite a distinction between christian boards and this one. Here you can say pretty much anything without getting banned.
