Apparently there's some commotion about a supposed "Blasphemy Challenge" on YouTube.

Not that you'll ever see this, mystery person, but...

Jesus would pray for these people. He knew better than anyone that you can't force conversion, and He knew better than anyone who was ready to convert. The right to choose is part of the whole "free will" thing. He wouldn't speak out against someone for exercising that right. He did, however, speak out against people who made no choice. Remember the whole "lukewarm" thing? Be either hot or cold, He said. These people have chosen just as you and I have, and I defend their right to choose, even if I don't defend their choice.

He did not sit idly by and let His people make the wrong choices. Your job is to be a disciple, not an apostle. You are to go out to the masses, stand up and preach God's word. God's Truth....that there IS a Holy Spirit, one with God.

Yeah, I'm not a Christian and you can "show me the way" all you want but its not going to help. Hell, it might just make me do something out of spite.
