I expected to comment just on the story. In a moment.

Kip's vegan-meat analogy is perfect. As a vegan, the only time I ever share my thoughts on veganism with people is when they ask. Even then, I'm only interested in sharing my thoughts on why I choose it for myself. I don't think I'm better because of that, of course. If nothing else, it's just good marketing.

As to your entry, absolutely. I've encountered this, as I'm sure most people have. It's almost always the unquestioned regurgitation of whatever the Bible says. I get blank stares when I challenge this with all of the requirements of the Bible that we no longer follow or are explicitly outlawed. How is selectively choosing what's left not enforcing one's own opinion?

Great analogy Kip.

"Us Christians are ONLY told to SHARE the Gospel NOT CONVINCE anyone that it is true."

There is a difference between "sharing" my corned beef on rye with you and convincing a legislature to ban your vegan restaurant as an "abomination" in an attempt to "defend traditional lunch."
