Question 8

QUESTION: When you were still, how do I say this, “under the influence” of faith, what was your opinion of those who didn’t believe? I oftentimes wonder just what most evangelicals actually think. I find it tough to believe that most of them are as radical as the loudest few are, and so I wonder. -Snurp

ANSWER: It’s a mixture of feelings really. On one hand, I usually kept my distance from nonbelievers unless I was delivering “the good news” to them. It’s almost as if I was afraid they would be a negative influence on me, or maybe a little “sin” would rub off. I would usually pray for those who I know did not believe, and felt remorse if someone died without “Jesus in their heart”. –deletedsoul

    Do you think such ‘xenophobia’ is prevalent in the faithful?

    In your opinion, does the faith in something create partisanism and thus create opposing camps mentality?
