Logic of the Zealot

Money quotes;

"Brig. Gen. Cecil R. Richardson, the Air Force deputy chief of chaplains, said in an interview, "We will not proselytize, but we reserve the right to evangelize the unchurched." The distinction, he said, is that proselytizing is trying to convert someone in an aggressive way, while evangelizing is more gently sharing the gospel."

Hmm, so that makes it ok, because it's a 'gentle sharing' of the gospels.

The following excerpt highlights the victim complex evangelicals have;

"The lieutenant is fighting to remain in the military. "The Navy wants to impose its religion on me," he said. "Religious pluralism is a religion. It's a theology all by itself."

Yeah, that's right. Your lack of priviledged status is an imposition.
