REV:

"proselytize (pròs´e-lî-tìz´) verb
proselytized, proselytizing, proselytizes verb, intransitive
1.To induce someone to convert to one's own religious faith.
2.To induce someone to join one's own political party or to espouse one's doctrine."

By telling us to accept Christ is proselytizing, no matter what you call it. I don't find Jesus' name offensive. What I do find offensive is having it shoved in my face in a sports forum. You want to invoke his name, do it on a religious setting.

And Mark:

You're so right about the First Amendment. The Constitution puts restrictions on the Government, not private entities.
