Especially since if you don't, there's a better than average chance they'll end up roasting in hell... But I tend to take the soft approach. People know I'm a Christian, and hopefully they'll see through my life what that means, and why that's a good thing. Or, at least, that a lot of their stereotypes about Christians are false.
