You are very kind tecoyah.
I would say that I do believe there are times when it is right, proper, good and even necessary to preach as well as teach. And perhaps I don't exactly agree that there is no "wrong" religion.
Of course, I don't have much use for religion. I find a relationship with God is much more efficacious.
But I suspect you would not be surprised by those, either.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ~ Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour
