So would you say that when it comes to things like Faith or Belief or Salvation, the content of the message cannot be used to determine whether evangelism is ethical or not?

So if the content of the message is not something that can be used to determine whether or not an act is ethical, can other things be used? For example, can a general statement that all parties must be capable of making an informed decision before evangelizing could be considered ethical?

New Orleans not know for its Christiainty???????
Well that's just it. I am not up on all the specifics of it, but New Orleans was not known for it's Christianity, they were known for their voodoo.
​
Say what riVeRraT? You are familar with a parade they hold each year down there aren't you? You do know what it's all about, don't you?
​
You do know why it is held at a certain time of year, don't you?
​
You do know that Louisiana doesn't have counties but rather Parishes, don't you?

Re: New Orleans not know for its Christiainty???????
That's just the fundies and evangelicals. They think that what happens in New Orleans Stays in New Orleans. As with everything else...
​

They're wrong!
