Yes, Christianity calls for its members to spread the word. In many cases, spreading the word makes them dicks.
Giving out t-shirts makes people dicks?

If it were a gift for my children, however, I *would* be offended. What if I gave your kids "Hail Satan" T-Shirts? That would be me being a dick. Don't you think? It's fine to assume someone is a Christian because most folks in this country are. But to act on that assumption, especially concerning impressionable children, without confirming it, is a shitty thing to do.
I'd say "No, thank you" and give them back. Can you reasonably assume my family are Satanists? Unless we live in an area where most people are, you can't. However, its not too far fetched for a Christian to assume so.

Granted, I wouldn't give anybody a "Jesus loves you" shirt because its a crappy gift. But, you are just being a drama queen.[/quote]
