Proselytizing, Evil, Etc Open Thread

Since a couple of people seem to want to discuss it, I am creating an open thread on my six-month-gone post on the Slacktiverse entitled The Problem of Proselytizing.

Spam, hate speech, and personal abuse, directed at anyone, will be deleted. I get to define what comprises any of those things, but I will apply the same standards to everyone regardless of position.

Edit: Adding a list of useful links to the original discussion:
