Thanks for a thought-provoking answer. I'm somewhere between atheist and agnostic (I'm not a believer, and I think it's unlikely God exists, and even if God exists it's unlikely any of now existing religions describes him (? what's the correct pronoun? lol) correctly), though I have nothing against personal (non-extremist) religious beliefs in general. And still proselytism doesn't feel like entirely "right thing to do" for me. I mean it's possible you are nudging a person towards a false religion, which doesn't describe God correctly, even if he exists at all. Is that an ethical thing to do?

In context of In-the-clouds/Melodic_Programmer conversation I mean "start talking to God" is okay (no nudging towards a specific religion), using quotes from Bible (as "In-the-clouds" often does) is not okay (implies Christianity is the correct one).
