It is my duty to share my faith. Even more so with someone who does not believe in God. This person is lost and maybe has time to reconsider his position before having to stand before the throne to be judged. By the time he realizes he was wrong it will be too late.

Letter to the atheist
I don't blame you for becoming an atheist, you were probably, if I may venture, taught all your life that the Bible is the word of God and don't read the Qur'an.
This deleted all options except to become an atheist.
My concern is that all the things that drove you to be atheist in the Bible, are also opposed in the Qur'an. In the Qur'an, God assures you that those who tampered with the Bible, those who drove you to be atheist are burning in hell.
God assures you that he saved Jesus from the cross, and Jesus will return on Judgment day.
There are zero contradictions in the Qur'an.
God wrote that the Earth is oval (Qur'an 79:28) over 1,400 years ago which was just discovered less than 50 years ago while the majority of Christians up to the 1800's believed it was to be flat, and then believed to be perfectly round..
God put water in and on this earth in precise measurement so that you can survive." (Qur'an 23:18), God raised mountains from the Earth so that the earth crust does not quake with you." (Qur'an 16:15). All phenomenon's and much more that humans discovered less than a few centuries ago while it was written in the Qur'an over 1,400 years ago.
There are over 127 references to science in the Koran, all proved true by Christians Doctors and Scientist who then converted.
I will stop here.
If you find something is missing, try God.
The Qur'an is a book from God, who else could have removed the curse of Babylon by having only the true believers in ONE God (1.5 Billion) speaking only 1 language and only 27% of Muslims are Arabs.
If you ever want to return to God, you may attempt to re-enter the Church community but you know by now that God must be perfect, forgiving and He does not prompt people to do bad things.
You must have tried to give Church a second chance only to find yourself an atheist once again. Well, the next time you feel the need to return to God, go to a mosque, take the translation of the Qur'an and read it.
You will discover why missionaries, bishops and preachers are converting, all who have had the temporary lapse of atheism such as yourself.

First of all, I do not consider it a burden to share my faith with others whether they believe in God or not. How else can non-believers be shown the truth. Faith comes by hearing.

I'm not really sure what you are asking. If you are asking if it is a burden for me personally to share my faith..then no, it's not. As Christians we are supposed to "spread the Word" and...'the Word' is God. I don't go around cramming my beliefs down peoples throats...but if someone asks me about my relationship with our heavenly father..I don't have a problem sharing my faith and beliefs with them. And there are times that God has told me to 'share' with strangers...it usually has been a blessing to me and to the person that I share with. If you have a close relationship with God....you will 'hear his voice'. Hope I have answered your question. God bless...

I think burden means your heart achs to tell them the great thing you have found, and what he has done for you and can do for them. Its a christians duty to tell people about God, and his love for them. I wish that those people that don`t believe in God could have the experence that I had, I don`t think they would be non believers anymore. I was saved over 12 years ago, but had backslidden, I went back to church one night, and I had repented of the my backsliding, any ways someone in the seat next to me told me to go up to the preacher, there were people falling ou tin the spirit everywhere, that had never happened to me before In all the time I was saved, I told the man that it had never happened to me, and I felt it would never happen, but the longer I sat there the more I wanted to at least see, so i went up, and the preacher touched me on my shoulders i think and down I went, when I got up I went back to my seat, and the first thing i thought was he had done or touched me somewhere that caused that, well i waited a few minutes and went back up, and this time I was going to make sure I paid attention so I would know what he was doing, but this time he touched the side of my face, and my first thought was on no this time im not going down, about that time, my ankels went side ways and down I went again, I ouldn`t stay standing when this man touched me, I know it was God... Isn`t that something, that even though we can`t see him, when he touches you, you know its really him. lol I now have FAITH..I think If I can listen to some people shove their nasty words, and hate around In front of people who try to live for God , Then I can and will do my part to talk about my God where ever and when ever I want to.

It is in the teachings of Jesus that we should share our burden's with one another so that they might not seem as heavy. In otherwords, rely and take care of eachother. Though be careful with this for remember "There can be no idle hands in the kingdom of my father". Work hard and help those around you. It is a great blessing to help someone find christ. The lord commanded that we go forth and spread the word of the gospel unto all nations.
I would like to leave you with this quote from Doctrines and covenants
"And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me" (D&C 18:15-16)
I am abit lost as to the point of your question do to the sentence structure, but I hope some of these answer your question. I leave these things with you in the name of the son, Jesus Christ, Amen.

No. I don't have a burden to share my faith with anyone. If they ask me then I will tell them. If they don't ask me then I won't. Simple. No burden.

I think you meant to say : do you have any "urge" to share your faith ...., if I understood correctly, then the answer is no.
People are free to believe whatever they want, it is not my job or duty to spread certain faith or belief. I just need to be happy with my own faith, thats all.

It is not a burden to share my faith. I suggest you go meditate first and reflect on : "How do we come to being"?

Why people feel the need to push their faith on others is beyond me. I think it's like a cult, the leaders of the church or cult need new converts so they can have more power/money. I say to all of you religious people keep your faith, and keep it away from people who don't want to hear about it, it's very annoying.
