Terrorist Evangelism Revisited

Seems I've been targeted as an Evil One for the terms I used when describing our hit-and-run chalk-art evangelism. A lot of (mainly American) people don't like that I used the term "Terrorist" in a Christian context. A lot of people who know nothing about me and just read that one post. A lot of people who don't know that I "targeted" my own flock, a church I've been a member of for 15 years - and didn't go out into rival congregations to terrorize them! I didn't fill the streets of my town with hit-you-hard messages, I didn't go tell the next denomination what was wrong with their theology. None of the messages were provocative, or negative, or poke-you-in-the-eye.

I'm sad today. I'm discouraged that what I say can be so twisted around by other's perceptions.

I've lived through terrorism. I've had friends killed by terrorists in the war in Zimbabwe. I've had to run and hide. ME, PERSONALLY. It wasn't something on the news, it wasn't an attack on others, it was ME. It's no joke and I wasn't trying to make it one.

But what else do you call hit-and-run evangelism?

(You know, if I wasn't such an insensitive fool this kind of thing may make me give up blogging for good...)
