...except these two young people were not sinners of that particular kind.

I believe that sharing my beliefs and hectoring people based on my beliefs are two very different things. The first is a fine thing to do, the second is not. I agree with the people who pointed out that this woman most likely caused those young people to be appalled by any religion that would encourage such rude behavior on the part of its adherents.

Nobody can prove that anybody's beliefs are better or more correct than the beliefs of any other person are. Understanding that begets spiritual humility, and a meeker approach to the sharing of beliefs.
