The ideals of Christian evangelism are to share the good news (gospel) of Christ as a savior. As a Christian, I think those are good ideals. However, in the execution lies the problem. I think people interpret the admonition to spread the gospel incorrectly–we are taught in my church that you spread the gospel by being a role model, not by harping at someone. I’m not sure how all philosophers would see that, but I think it’s more real than approaching someone you don’t know and who doesn’t know you and “preaching” away. The achievement of goal rate can’t be very high at all.

… That in whatever Form it is presented, it is not that much different from Politics ……. And Religion, like Politics, IS a Business …

To sell Christ and then complain about commercialisation of Christmas is hypocritical. Christs does not need copyrights neither do books about racism or films about racism. To make money off it seems hypocritical when people under threat of law not to profit when others profit when no profit is necessary.Education point not profit.They might ask why so many separate buildings required for Christ,Islam, Judaism when there are such similiarities between them. A follower of either it seems could be under the same roof. Besides God,Allah is in Heaven according to followers so what need has God of several houses on Earth built to aknowledge God.

I think a true philosopher would probably be able to overlook the greedy ones who are only out for money because they are technically attempting to “sell” God, by having people donate to their “cause”, and well “you reap what you sew”. But as far as the honest evangelists, I think that they would see them as religious entertainers, who get the crowd emotional about their beliefs and inspire people who need the spirit in their lives. They use bright lights and lots of noise in such a way as to perform sermons, rather than just preach them.

Philippians 1.18 “But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice”.
