Not difficult, as the fundamentalist flavours of the faith beloved by many Salvos are easily dismantled.<br/><br/>Like all church events, the focus is mainly on preaching to the converted. Churches are good at being busy but achieving nothing. A better stance is to be more aggressive than the Christians.

Non-Christians of all sorts are deeply offended by Christian aggression. I respect the rights of Christians to believe in and worship their God. I wish that they would reciprocate and respect the fact that I don't share their beliefs and refrain from continually imposing their beliefs on me. I understand the Great Commission and the impulse to "rescue the perishing" and "snatch them in pity from sin and the grave." Nevertheless, non-Christians really do not need to hear, yet again, that we're destined for hell because we don't agree with Christians and accept their beliefs as our own.
