Do You Agree or Not?


From the mouth of an atheist. Do you agree or not? Click here.

Penn says:

I don't respect people who don't proselytize. If you believe that there's a heaven and hell, and people could be going to hell, and you think, 'Well, it's not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward'... How much do you have to hate somebody not to proselytize?

I agree. What impressed Mr. Penn was the manner in which the gentleman presented the Bible. Integrity and respect go a long way.

I agree.

I'd also like to add that Penn is a very interesting person. I've actually been praying for him off and on since I became a believer ~2.5 years ago. I've always liked his better qualities (intellect, sense of humor; when it's good). The reason I've prayed for him is (1) for his soul and (2) he'd be a dynamic convert.

Christians who'd been Christians all their lives can be bold. However, I've noticed that atheists/agnostic converts to Christianity are typically incredible proselytizers (ex. C.S. Lewis). I believe it’s because in their mind there is so much to be forgiven and they have so much love as a result (Luke 7:47) of that. I speak from experience.

Let’s say a prayer for Penn. My hope is that the seed that seems to have been planted for him is not taken up by the raven.
