As the first youth to post, I'd like to say: Yay me!!!  With that, there's some things I'd like to bring up.
Some common mis-conceptions:
1. I'm Christian, so I MUST shove my beliefs down your throat.
2. Religious people only seek Religion for an "answer" to satisfy them.
3. People act Christian at church, but continue their "destructive" lives outside of it.
It'd be great if we can work some of these out? I hear them quite a bit.
Something to bring up:
Non-religious people, or atheists, aren't easily fooled. When people try to bring their lives into Jesus, they won't just fall for "Just try it," or "Come once," or even hearing stories of others: I'm not saying that we're doing a bad job, because these methods do help, A LOT. But I'm thinking that they're more interested in FACTS; which we have, but don't bring up. If they feel so strongly towards religion, they probably won't even pay attention; they just don't care. (Pardon my use of "they."). They can't understand that mountaintop feeling with Jesus, because we can't possibly describe it. I'm not saying to barrage them with facts, just calmly explain, gradually ease into them.. I remember when I first came to Horizons: I liked it, people were nice, not judging; however, people seemed to sort of push me. NOT BAD!! But a lot of people are offended by pushiness, believe me. (Refer to the first mis-conception.).
Any thoughts, disagreements?
P.S. Happy New Year!! Time: 3:20 A.M.
