Well, at least they have part of the "picture" correct......need to work on 
the rest of it.

Quite right, BUT NOT all who profess it are like that there......obviously.

I've turned people off, and so have THOUSANDS of other well-meaning 
Christians, by only engaging a conversation presenting the Gospel when 
someone wants other answers......like why Kinsey was wrong. You'll be left 
standing there by yourself "with your bare face hanging out," and called 
"Bible thumper" or worse. You can't always approach everyone from the same 
"angle," and you more than likely will have many conversations over time.
