Scenario #1: An atheist family lives in a small town in the middle of the Bible belt. Christian holidays are openly celebrated in the town, from the court house lawn to the sheriff’s office. Prayer (Christian prayers only) is said before every sporting event at the local high school. Several times each month, members of various local Christian churches knock on the door of this family, knowing that they are not Christian, to “share the Good News of Jesus Christ”. The Christians genuinely believe that what they are doing is in the best interest of the atheist family. There is no ill intent.
Is the behavior of these Christians appropriate or is it harassment/trolling?
Scenario #2: An atheist, who believes that it is his humanistic duty to share the good news of non-supernaturalism (the good news that capricious, self-absorbed, vindictive ghosts, devils, and gods do not exist) with everyone he speaks with, goes onto the websites of supernaturalists (religious people) in an attempt to “evangelize them”. Like the Christians above, there is no ill intent.
Is the behavior of this atheist appropriate or harassment/trolling?
