That's shocking and bizarre! Considering that so many people are turned off from religion precisely because of this pushiness. Even when missionaries are not being pushy people tend to avoid them.
I wonder if this is something wrong with the christian 'brand?' I'll admit I get a bit anxious when those missionaries are camping out in the marketplace and handing out materials. Usually I'd go up and look at a few free books just to see what they say if their being given away, but there's something about middle aged men in suits purveying books with tastelessly designed covers, that I'm pretty sure are going to tell me I'm going to hell, that scares me away and makes me less welcoming.
