Andy has a website called Contradict Movement, where he sells stickers that spell Contradict using various religious symbols. He also sells Contradict Gospel tracts to accompany these stickers and his book, Contradict – They Can’t All Be True. Links are also given to his blog, Youtube channel, and Reconnect Podcast. All of these resources are purposed to equip Christians to defend the good news of Jesus Christ in a pluralistic age.
Periodically, Andy receives messages that call for him to stop Contradict Movement, because it is a distortion of what Coexist actually is and that Contradict is a hateful movement!
In this episode, he shares the following email and the several back and forth replies that followed:
“I’m not sure I understand your message or your goal for this “movement”. The Coexist Movement is simply a call for peace among religions. Pointing out that different religions are different seems to be a mute point. Why go against a peaceful movement to point out our differences? No one is claiming that all religions are the same. We know that all religions are diverse and different from one another, we are just trying to coexist peacefully and respectfully. Will you please stop this movement? You are making a bad name for Christians everywhere, making Christianity the “hateful religion”. Please stop.”

Excerpt of Contradict – They Can’t All Be True (Book by Andy Wrasman)
Why not have ‘contradict’ donuts and coffee. That’d really send them into a tizzy!!!
We have offered donuts and coffee before while sitting on a campus. Often times, it’s just coffee. People tend to love us, even those who disagree with us. It’s simple logic that we can’t all be correct, so people usually like to talk with us. It’s just the Internet trolls that can’t deal with logic.
