Certainly I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and expect they do it because they care about people. Personally, I don't think that's really the best way to present the love of God because it doesn't really involve real frienships and relationships, which present a truer picture of God's love.

I've never been to neopets... can't see how that classifes as a shop.

I feel slightly sorry for people like that, but if that's how they want to think, it's up to them. Same with making websites about it...

Here's my tried and tested method for dealing with such people:

Evangilist type person:"Have you accepted Jesus as your personal saviour"
Me: "Yes, I have."
Evangilist type person:"...."

They quickly go away when they realise I'm actually serious. I haven't been bothered by such people for a long time now. Is it something I said? :(

Also, that website is poorly spelt. If it makes them feel better, then thats ok. I never try to make people change their minds, or talk about religion excessively. This is probably the most I've talked about it.

Oh, I read it fully now...odd.

Well, all I can say is: being religious is fine (though I must say, IMO it's a waste of time), but trying to convert people is where I cross the line. If your religion's so great, people will join by themselves.

Anyway, Neopets are just the sad result of Wizards of the Coasts' loss of Pokemon and their realization that it made a ton of money for them.

You need to have fun with Proselytizers, last year some people from Campus Crusade for Christ or something came over to my dorm room and begun asking questions and giving their spiel while I argued with them and tried to get them to convert to Soto Zen Buddhism.

It ended with them giving up and retreating after I caught them in circular reasoning and they couldn't come up with much in the way of arguments for Christianity besides the argument of basically 'it says so in the Bible'. They seemed very naive and hadn't studied or reflected much on their beliefs so I was kind of sad, I had expected a decent argument... Instead they fled after wavering a little then making an excuse to turn tail and head off.

They have started Chalking Recently, here is some of the stuff they wrote:
"The Pavement"
 
"Playtime is over! It is time for Praisetime!"
"Repent!"
"The Bible is God's love letter to you"
and a bunch 'o Crosses everywhere


Yeah... after the "Playtime is over! It is time for Praisetime!" someone had chalked "Fark you!"*.

Why would you even chalk something like "Playtime is over! It is time for Praisetime!"? Are you trying to actively turn people off from Christianity or Religion in general?

*Not really Fark btw, it was the F word.

the last time someone tried to Prostelitize me I replies,
"So what about me makes you Prejudge me to Not be Saved? is it my clothes the way I walk, my facial hair, What says to you Im not a Christian, could it be because Im not wearing a suit, or a poloshirt and sweater tied jauntilly about my neck accentuating my Docksiders?
also you do realize that prejudging me is a Sin, as only God is allowed to Judge."

this usually leaves them trying to explain some BS about how they were on a mission to bring folks to the lord, and how he was from New england, and I tell them,
"I understand that the Christian faith is a prostelytizing one, but most of the time it doesnt work,
and Here in the US we are like 75% protestant, if you really want to get the Mission brownie points, Perhaps you can go to a heathen country like one in africa, or the middleast, ot Quebec,
not Tennessee, you know the Bible Belt, Also Hello" and I walk slowly away ignoring them completely no matter what they say.

I plan next on talking to them abotu Jainism (the Buddist sect that carries a broom to sweep lil varmits out of the way for fear of squishing them) or just speaking in gibberish.

I know they have a "job" to do, but Im secure in my faith and dont need their flavour
(I am simply Christian, I dont partake of any flavour like catholic, or baptist or whatnot, although the Amish are cool)

*Cough*

Jainism is a Hindu-split off that started up before Buddhism even developed. They practice severe asceticism, in contrast to Buddhism's Middle Way, and basically have a Fugivorious diet since even eating plants causes harm in their philosophy.

A number of the first Buddhists were Jains who converted to Buddhism though.

well, I'm a christian and even I find that rather patronizing. Most of the time, people don't bother really knowing their material and really understanding their religion before they go out and evangelize, which is why they end up mostly annoying the hell out of people.

I mean, religion is a free choice, if you want to convert someone, do it in the proper way and at the proper time.

The last time someone tried to convert me to their version of the "truth", it was a Jehovah's Witnesses person and I scared her away by speaking en français.

Last time I checked, a large portion of the world was Christian. I fail to see why they need any more people, especially NeoPets players. If you suddenly change your religion based off of something that you saw on a free online game website, then you are a tad bit more idiotic than the average person in this world.
