Reply #17: They aren't out to show their faith, [View All]

they are out to convert. People can not be forced to come to God and the Christian right's attempt to ram it down people's throats are having the reverse effect. I used to tell my fundie Mom that she did more damage with her attempts at forcing people to listen to her than if she just behaved in a Christian manner and allowed people to choose on their own.

I posted a link to an article yesterday from a Column in The Blade. Does this sound like they are just expressing their faith?

Just say no to Pawn?

snip:
Well, spreading the Gospel is the point of evangelical Christianity, right? It should surprise no one to hear a Christian musician explain the symbiosis of music 'n' message, but check the band's Web site for confirmation (emphasis original):



"Pawn's main purpose is to spread the word of God to those who do not know Him, and in doing so, give people the love of Christ. We want to reach people for God. You can expect a couple of things from us: First, we will always try to get to a gig early to talk and associate with the people coming to or organizing the gig (and we will probably stay late). We believe that evangelism at its best is created through relationships."

Some lyrics from Pawn, as posted on the Web site:

The Christian Coalition commin' up in a vision/ Ain't no stoppin' us now because we're soldiers on a mission./ Cause when we rock it, we're gonna sock it to 'em. (False teachers better get down, get down!)/ Well I got a scripture fist full of iron and the other of steel. If I miss with one, the other's gonna tell you how I feel.
