In reply to Bernie Schaeffer.

A good point, to be sure, Bernie. One problem is that many of those who oppose the Christian message have already set up this "us vs. them" mentality in their own worlds. And they use catch phrases to act like they can put those who disagree with them "in their place" without having to ever engage in facts, open discussion or even spirited discourse. Their whole mentality seems to be, "You are Christian and in my world you have to prove to me that you even the right to even breathe." When you do, they cut you off anyway.

As for Christians acting out, sometimes it only takes someone showing that they really do care. While no college student would ever really want to admit it, often times they were not at all ready to face this new reality of life. As a result, some will look in bad corners, mostly trying to find ways to escape. Knowing (and being told) that someone truly cares for them and is praying for them is often a powerful remedy.
