every third baby boy is named mohammed.

people who engage in self defense are imprisoned while criminals are given a 'firm talking to' and have their hands slapped.

Non-Fundamentalists: Is Evangelism Necessary?
by leavingwt in
1. jw
2. friends
most christians alive today have rejected the notion of eternal, physically painful punishment for non-believers after death.

(annihilationism, universalism and defining hell as an 'absence of/separation from god' are the most common beliefs, today.).

so, if you're a christian who doesn't view christianity as the only road to salvation, do you think evangelism is required or necessary?.
