WITNESSING...when being considered a very, very, very good man gets confused with meaningful evangelism

Penn J. is a raw, but very gifted and talented comedian/entertainer. Part of his resumé that he's known for is that he is also an outspoken atheist. His venom against religion in general (Christianity in specific) are legendary and an ongoing part of his shows. But in the spirit of Christmas (which he doesn't believe in) he goes all nice on us for a brief moment.

The video above is Penn recalling a man who gave him a pocket NT with Psalms at a performance of his. He was struck by the goodness of this man and his warm demeanor. He even understands why Christians must proclaim the gospel - a surprise admission. But as nice as that sentiment is to hear, it is only sentiment. There is a lesson to be learned from this brief YouTube and I would like to know your thoughts about it.

The money line: 

"If you believe that there's a heaven and hell and people could be going to hell or not getting eternal life or whatever, and you think that well it's not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward... How much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?

Powerful words.

One caveat: ask yourself this as you watch Penn J. - if John the Baptist, the Apostle Paul, the Lord Himself, or Whitefield, Edwards, or even Keith Green and Paul Washer, etc. would have shared with him, would Penn have had the same warm reaction? or would he have walk away personally offended?

In closing, please pray for this man; for wouldn't it be great to see him come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of his life?
