Right on!
Sorry bout that, but as you can probaby tell, I've been through a lot (though that pales in comparison to some on these boards.)
I was the unwitting participant of a zealot, who scammed me into going to an AMWAY convention. I never spoke to him again.
In my time, I have found it much more fulfilling to let people know I'm there in case they need to talk, which actually happens quite a bit. Although I don't try to convert them to Christianity, I do attempt to bring out their spiritual feelings about whatever situation they're in.
Persecution, what you are talking about, comes from not knowing how to talk to other people, rather than the message of God. I doubt the Message offends anyone, rather the holier-than-thou approach, or the in-your-face method. Unfortunately, those tend to put people off in such a way as to be shunned. It's the behavior that's avoided, not the Message.
But understand I meant no malice in my previous post.
God be with you
