White-off: Willie Ballgame vs. Tug Hulett

You might be very good about avoiding being pushy and all that - if this is true well done, and I'm sorry if you're offended by my broad generalisation.

However, I find that assuming everyone with a cause is going to be insanely annoying helps me avoid all of that entirely. I'm all about efficiency, and if I don't have a few good conversations every now and then, it's worth the risk.

or get into any kind of moral argument or anything, I respect your opinion completely. But I'm a semi-active member in the United Church of Christ. The way in which we do outreach to make people happy is by hosting community events in our church. For instance we hold a community choir for children, singing non-religious songs outside of service and opening our doors to anyone who wants to come in. It's been a boon for outreach because then when people think "Hey, I want to give church a shot" they come to our church because their kid has been singing there twice a week. We do passive outreach of that nature, not going and knocking on people's doors. Some people just don't want to hear about it and there's no point in wasting their time.

...admit it, you've thumped the bible more than once.  As one who's proselytized as well, I've done pretty much everything.

Nowadays, the advice that I find that works the best is to a) Follow Luke 10:27 and b) Remember St. Francis/Mother Teresa, etc. who said "Preach the Gospel, use words if necessary" and c) Let God be the judge, it's not your job...

So, yeah, I fail miserably all the time at these.  But that's to be expected.  No one is perfect, especially me.  Not all Christians are pushy.  But, yeah, the ones that are are most definitely annoying.  

Regardless of what you may believe, that is pretty impressive. Dude must have some kind  of manipulative skills.
