Every time I mention that Christians are fighting each other for the Bible is contradictory, they say that they are not perfect. God that is perfect speak to them who are not perfect, and they are doing imperfect things, because they are humans. They will never be perfect because only Jesus was perfect. But what is the difference between Christians and Atheist people? Atheist people are not perfect either and they know that. So, why are Christians trying to convert people to an imperfect religion? Even Christians say that Atheist are belivers, so bottm line Christians want to convert from an imperfect to imperfect... ain't they crazy?

HUH? you lost me! but to answer you just because people are not perfect does not mean that their God is imperfect, the fact is if we could be perfect we would not need a savior because we would be able to achieve perfection without him, But God wants us to be perfect and that is why we need a new spirit and a new heart as he gives us when we ask for it ( Ezekiel 36:26 ) I don't know how many Christians would be able to say that Atheists are believers, but what I do know is that God has made himself evident and that no one will have an excuse before his throne on the day of judgment. Now ya know

This doesn't make sense. No one is perfect....humans were born with imperfection, and christians dont' try to be perfect, because perfection doens't exist in humans. Christianity is perfect becuase its a religion and if comes form God and jesus christ, but doesn't exactly mean people who are christians are perfect, becuase like i said again no one is perfect. we just try to do the right thing and honor God, this has nothins to do with perfection. and not all christians say atheist are believers, cuz i don't think so. Just because we're chrisitans does not mean we think alike. Don't stereotype. There's a lot of different types of christianity than you can imagine. Just becuase the people are imperfect does not mena the religion is. People and religion are two different things, and this goes for all religions NOT just chrisitanity. Thats like trying to say you can't eat the perfect food because you won't become perfect. It makes no sense.

Are you asking because you really want real answers that teach you something, or are you just one of those people who just want to see more Christian bashing.
At least you admitted one thing. I am proud of you for saying that you don't understand. Becuase if you did understand you would be a Christian.
The point of Christianity is this: Jesus is our saviour. All we have to do is accept that gift that God gave us. We are not forced, but out of response to God's love we are supposed to live as Jesus did and follow His example.
The difference: Christianity is not a religion, as most would claim, it is a lifestyle. It has to show in the things that you do.
You are correct that humans are imperfect. That's the whole reason that Jesus came to the earth. We would be lost otherwise. There is nothing that we can do to save ourselves without him.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten so, that who so ever should believe in him shall not perish, but have ever lasting life" John 3:16
The important part there is that God loved us enough, that even though while we were sinners and did not truly know him, he still sent Jesus to earth to atone for our sins.
Would you die for someone who denied your very exsistance, would you even care for them? Jesus did. He died for you, and every person out there. It is his will that not one of us should perish in the fires of hell.
God has given us his word to teach us what has been done on our behalf, and to show us what we have to do to accept this gift he offers.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." - Jesus
Unfortunatly, so many will deny that gift. He sheds tears for all of those who turn away. He wants you to live forever in his Holy kingdom. What choice will YOU make?

Well you are correct humans forcing their will on others is crazy. Our spirit and faith protect us from the failings of being human. Our FREE WILL will question everything - and the truth will be kept close to our hearts. People spreading the truth are very courageous, but if out of control even good people can do wrong. Force is the tipping point. Breaking the commandments JESUS gave us - even in the midst of converting people to HIM, is wrong.
Perhaps reviewing your families position will ease your troubles. Also being respectful to the "crazies" as you call them (which may be correct - but not respectful.) but getting away from them (leave the room, excuse yourself and go to a safe place.) could make your life easier. Always keep talking and listening to your parents, and family. They love you - really; and will be there for you.

Your argument has flaw.
Just because all the humans (apart from Christ) are not perfect doesn't mean the religion isn't.
Because God and Christ are perfect, we have hope and redemption. These are things that some refuse to believe by choice.
And I am crazy, but that is a moot point.

I not trying to convert you to anything and please don't generalize. You put yourself in the line of fire and expect believers to not convert you. You are fooling ur self! There is a grand difference between us and you,unbelievers, because we believe and you don't. We know that sin is wrong and you don't believe in sin and practice it daily with no conscious. You are crazy to say that an "Atheist are believers." They wouldn't even agree with you. You are trying to convert christians to a imperfect so-called No belief system? LOL ((BABY WANNA HUG))

christians want to convert non-believers to the perfect which is Jesus Christ himself> he is "backbone" of the christian religion>

the difference is Christians have confessed their sins,repented and ask Christ to be their Savior,therefore acknowledging that Christ is the Son of God,that He lived,was crucified,and rose from the dead and He is alive today.

Some Christians I have met have this overweening arrogance that theirs is the one, true religion and everyone else is damned to hell.
