I don't think she exists
Remember what I said earlier about there being a different between advocating your faith and trying to instigate a negative response from someone of a different religious group? Probably not, but I just thought I'd reference it. Anyway, I'd kindly like to point out that Christians were (Are) commanded by Jesus to go out and bear witness to God's name on numerous occasions. In fact, one of the centralized premises behind any belief system (Religious, social or political) is that those who believe in it should disperse throughout the world and get others to believe in it as well.The "I-highly-doubt-that-Jesus-would-want-you-to-do-that!" argument is, therefore, hogwash.

Sure you are commanded.. by a book that has yet to be proven. God inspired it blah blah. I think there's a difference between telling someone that you believe in god and how good he/she/it is, and telling someone how they are a horrible sinner and if they don't worship this magic man and devote 100% of their life to him, they will burn in some pit forever. That sounds..umm.. like a dictator. Was jesus a dictator? is god? "You must do what I say, including killing innocent people (ignore the fact that the commandment says 'thou shalt not kill', or you will be sent to a firey pit for all eternity!"
It's amazing how silly the bible is when you break it down. It's like the classic fairy tale.. except a lot more gruesome.
my argument was not in regards to someone approaching me, but rather the attitude that the person projects while they are trying to 'win my soul for jesus'.
so therefore, your argument, is complete hogwash.
