THUMPING RELIGION

A card I received on my car window as I came back to it from the store:

FRONT:
"The wages of sin is DEATH-
The gift of God is eternal. Romans 6:23"

BACK:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16............(The gospel in a nutshell)"


Possibly they chose my car out of the others who I did not see one on, because I have a bumper sticker that says
"God is too big to fit inside one religion."

What are your views on what the card said
and what are your views on "thumping" (promoting & preaching) yur religion to others?

I laughed a little, but respecting what they believe in their hearts.
But as one who is not religious, yet respecting all beliefs, could not see God as being full of judgement, sending me to death if I sin. I know that life is eternal for everyone.

I do not care for religion-thumpers, but take their views into mind.

The card had no markings of the church or religious party, so my question is what is their intention with this card? IF that card were supposed to scare me, how would I know where to go? They are not promoting their church, but their beliefs, which is fine. So, basically, it seems as though it is a way to scare people and hopefully get them to go to A church and get "saved". I respect that, but I don't see the need to scare or worry others as a healthy tactic to help them.
