HARASS A NON-CHRISTIAN SPIRITUAL LEADER FOR JESUS

Americans United for Separation of Church and State notes that that's precisely what Tim LaHaye did not long ago, as he noted proudly in an NPR interview last October (LaHaye is a right-wing Christian preacher and coauthor of the mega-selling Left Behind books):

...LaHaye recalled the time he tried to convert the Dalai Lama. LaHaye said he was in “the Holy Land” when he spotted the Dalai Lama and an entourage walking toward him in a hotel corridor.

“I just stuck out my hand and shook hands with him and said, ‘Sir, has anyone ever explained to you who Jesus Christ really is? If they haven’t, I’d be glad to spend an hour with you and just share with you the truth about him.’”

LaHaye said an aide brushed him off but added that the Dalai Lama, while “probably very sincere,” does not “know the truth of the way to God, and I think we Christians have to be ready at any moment to share that truth with them.”
