Quote: Proteus
People who visit this board have many different motivations.

It can be said that there are Christian missionaries who do believe that "lying for the sake of truth" is possible.

Other Christian evangelists operate with various misconceptions about their own faith, not to mention other faiths, that need to be corrected.

Then there are Jews who come here with varying degrees of woundedness and scars based on how they have been treated by people who call themselves Chrisitians.
Proteus,
- I should have read your whole post more carefully before responding the first time.
- Basically, I agree with you.
- Disrespect aimed at the prosletizers could be somewhat functional (cathartic) for your last group. I would just argue that the overall effect would still be negative. 'We' would be responding in kind and setting a bad precedent.
- "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Proverbs 15:1.
