Yes, it's disgraceful the way Christians stomp all over native religions and impose their filth...it is sickening to think of the damage done in the past and continuing to be done... total annihilation of local cultures and total replacement with this weird fictional middle-eastern hybrid religion called Christianity that has spread and become way too big and powerful and totally out of control and corrupt.

When Christians convert other religions that are hateful? Is that you question? Yes, it's called The Great Commission. We don't "get all torn up." We praise the Lord and welcome one more soul into the Body of Christ Jesus, Lord and Savior.
The Great Commission is a tenet in Christian theology emphasizing mission work and evangelism, particularly (but not exclusively) emphasized by evangelicals. It has been a primary basis for Christian missionary activity in general. The most familiar version of the Great Commission is recorded in Matthew 28:16-20:
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."(NIV)
Other versions of the Great Commission are found in Mark 16:14-18, Luke 24:44-49/Acts 1:4-8, and John 20:21.
The commission from Jesus suggests that his followers have the duty to go, teach, and baptize. Although the command was initially given directly only to Christ's Eleven Apostles, Christian theology has typically interpreted the commission as a directive to all Christians of every time and place, particularly because it seems to be a restatement or moving forward of the last part of God's covenant with Abraham in Genesis 12:3.
Ultimately, every country---every tongue shall confess the Glory of the Lord and the Power of His Might.
Every tongue will confess the lordship of Jesus Christ to
the glory of God the Father (Phillipians 2:12). One person at the time or by the stadiums full.
AMEN and Thank you for those who have accepted Christ as their Savior! Welcome, Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

By saying that Christianity is hateful, you are in fact displaying a hateful attitude toward Christianity.
How about a little tolerance? If someone wants to become a Christian, who are you to stand in their way?
If someone converting to Christianity "tears you up inside," then that's a negative reflection on your intellectual and emotional fragility. Nothing more.

No, but it tears me up when people use a peaceful religion to meet their own personal agenda. The Spanish did that but it doesn't mean Christians condone it now or then. A religion who has one of the most important commandment of loving one's neighbor (not just Christians) as yourself is not hateful.

No. Why does it bother you? Seems you have just as much hate as you claim these Christians do. I guess some can only stoop the level of the thing they claim to hate, but it doesn't make you look any better than the "hateful" Christians. Granted, some are hateful, bitter people... but obviously so are others with different beliefs.

No, quite the contrary. Most Muslims converted during the time of the spread of the Muslim Empire. Each time the Muslims would claim they were fighting a jihad (realistic translation: hey, we want your land!) and kill those who were unwilling to convert. Islam has a much more violent history of conversion than does Christianity.

Yes
Every religion on the surface seems good and filled with love. But every religion has a superiority to all other religions, and it is this conflict that drowns out the love and drenches the world with hate.

Why should you be worried about it if your not a Christian? I don't worry about people converting to Islam. Our religion isn't a religion it is a relationship with the Creator of heaven and earth. If you hate our relationship it might be because you hate God. Take it up with Him. He has mandated His followers to go and tell people to come to Christ. It is there free will that makes them choose to come to Jesus. Unlike Mohammed in the 7th century who used a sword to convert, we use love and preach the truth about God. People who choose to come to Jesus make that their own choice.

Not all christians are hateful. I would be overjoyed if every person converted to Christianity and became loving and helpful individuals who can promote the love of Jesus Christ. I know it won't happen but I would still love it if it could.

No, nor does it bug me when muslims or people of any religion convert people who want to be converted. It isn't like they are doing it at gunpoint, it is a personal choice.
