My first inclination is to say that that's an oxymoron, but I wasn't sure I could spell oxymoron. The truth is that religion (for humans) tends to be a matter of faith, of feeling, not of thinking things through and being convinced. That being the case, why do some churches, including my human's, put such a tremendous emphasis on evangelism? They feel a real obligation to convert everyone who can be converted. They say God said to do this, and that settles it.

All this makes Human terribly uncomfortable. A colleague at her previous job had a bumper sticker that said "When the Rapture comes, I'm going to steal your car." Human told her she didn't have to steal our truck; she could have it because Human wasn't going to need it any more, but Human wished this person would come along because there was some really nice people going and gonna have a great time. No conversion, but she didn't ruin the relationship either.

We have never known anyone to be converted unless that person was in pain and needed God, right then. We don't bring people to God. God does that, and he usually drags them kicking and screaming.

Nevertheless, Human says we're supposed to witness our faith, so here's something for you to peruse:

If anyone feels the urge to convert and would like to pray with me, just let me know. Otherwise, we now return you to your regularly scheduled blog.
