sometimes adam & i want to say this to brother & sister (they're atheists) so badly, but just don't know how...
adam found this (interview with an famous atheist), told me about it & how it really got him thinking...
"I don't respect that at all. If you believe that there's a heaven and hell and people could be going to hell or not getting eternal life or whatever, and you think that it's not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward, and atheists who think that people shouldn't proselytize -- 'Just leave me alone, keep your religion to yourself.'
"How much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize?" Jillette asked. "How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that? If I believed beyond a shadow of a doubt that a truck was coming at you and you didn't believe it, and that truck was bearing down on you, there's a certain point where I tackle you. And this is more important than that."

i mean, really think about what he is saying... seriously, people (adam & myself included)... if you believe there is Heaven & there is Hell, think of the 'truck analogy'...if a truck (Hell) was bearing down on a friend, family member, etc etc, wouldn't you run in to push them to the side (telling them about God, Heaven (or atleast try)?
