Danger: Proselytising

Show Notes

Proselytise: to convert or attempt to convert (someone) from one religion, belief, or opinion to another.

Why are Christians such god-botherers? Is it possible to share your belief system with someone who doesn’t accept without being a jerk?

Many people today would have you believe that there is no context in which proselytising could be considered a good thing.
