The Art of Why

But... why? We ask ourselves this about almost everything we come in contact with. And usually, the answer is unclear. So, how on earth--with the word why around--can evangelism happen? How on earth can you convince someone to believe in something as important as the existence of a God? Especially if they already have their mind mad up? Ah, why? Well the answer isn't simple at all. In fact, I don't know the answer, I'm just going to ramble on about it for a few paragraphs because THAT'S WHAT BLOGGERS DO. Anyway. We should embrace the why. Discussion is the only way you will get anywhere with a person who has opposing views. Ask for a why. But also, make sure you're ready for it. I've read a good deal of the atheist side evangelism, and most articles say the same things. The educated/non-anger driven articles simply state that they are open minded, but the evangelist is not. The"why" angers the person trying to do something as important as completely change a person's life. May I ask--Why? I do not know the answer but I can guess that their beliefs are being attacked and therefore taking is personal. These people need to stay out of the recruiting business. Long story short, I think they "why" is fun for conversation and educated discussions, but as far as it's role in fundamentalist Christian evangelization, eh I don't think it will ever work. When it comes down to it, Religion is something a person is better of experiencing on their own. It's a little too intimate for a rando to be creepin around.
