There is a time and a place... and this group is not really the place. > Everyone who is a Christian should be a light in their > community, drawing men to Jesus. You forgot the speakers on the roof of the garage playing Pentecostal Fire and Brimstone Sermons to the neighborhood all hours of the day and night. A friend of mine had one of these characters in his neighborhood until he sold his house and moved. > Oh no - I mentioned Jesus. I guess I will get a box full of > email telling me how offensive I am. If your RB Group Post is long paragraphs about only Jesus... many of us will probably say we don't appreciate or desire the subject on totally unrelated technical forum. > Perhaps if I mentioned Buddha or Mohammad, I would be ok. Not if it was the only subject of your post... not one of us subscribed to this group for a religious message. > But I dared to mention Jesus.

It's a centuries old problem... religion trying to force itself onto/into the lives of others. Thousands of examples are available if you merely look back through history.
