Evangelism includes apologetics; we must be able to defend our faith in the public square. The big controversy these days, as I’m sure you are aware, is Evolution Vs. Intelligent Design. Watch what satirist Bill Maher had to say about Intelligent Design and our God. Does he make your blood boil? What would you say
An excerpt from the July 14, 2004 edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The article: “Busy Shatner has The End on His Mind” by Gail Shister:
“There’s a sense of not being fulfilled… I don’t know what it is. It bothers me, because I’m approaching the end of my life, and I’m trying to do better and better at whatever it is I’m doing.”
The death of legendary actor Marlon Brando at age 80 hit Shatner hard, even though the two had never met. “He lived not far from me, up on the hill. His death is the end of an era, and my era is closing in on me. “

This comment was submitted to me by W.C. This is a neighbor’s response to W.C.’s repeated invitations to visit his church. As you will read, people aren’t always gracious.
I find it rather insulting that for years now you have questioned and doubted my faith in God simply because of your inability to talk me into going to your church. I have really restrained myself from telling you to back off, but you just don’t get it. I have a deep spiritual relation ship with the almighty, I do not have one, however with organized religion such as you subscribe to. I am a student of history and as such I am well aware of organized religion and the wars and death that has occurred over the centuries all in the name of God, Jesus, Allah and whatever. Countless millions slaughtered in holy wars, the numbers are quite staggering. I worship God in my own way, without a support group of fellow parishioners, not that I think there is anything wrong with that. Some people need it to keep themselves in line. I am one of those people.So I guess what I am trying to say is that I do not wish to ever attend your church, and please stop asking. I understand the fact that you are a salesman. This is one sale that you will never make.
Here is W.C.’s response. Do you think it was appropiate?
