No offense taken. The question just shows your unfamiliarity with the subject.

There are many people who were converted from another religion or atheism. C.S. Lewis and Alister McGrath were atheists. Ravi Zacharias was Hindu. Moishe Rosen was Jewish. All of these people are well know Christian authors now.

Yes, the famous writer C. S. Lewis was an atheist who converted to Christianity. After his conversion he wrote the following book: MERE CHRISTIANITY. This book is his argument for belief in God.

St. Augustine was once a firery pagan. However, he converted to Christianity and became a doctor of the Church. He wrote about his own life and so you can find lots of books containing his writings.

St. Paul persecuted the Christians but later converted and became an Apostle of the Church.....you just need to pick up a Bible to read about this one. there are lots of others.

My husband converted from being a Hindu all his life, all of my Christian friends were never BORN christian. They all converted to that religion from either Catholicism or just from nothing at all.

All the time. It talks of it several times in the Bible for starters. Where to begin? In Acts 13 it tells about when Saul was going through the land killing christians and the Holy Ghost blinded him for awhile. Then he became saved, was unblinded and changed his name to Paul to show the great change in his life. Then there is at Jesus crucifixion with the theif on the cross which is in several chapters of the bible but I am choosing Luke 23. The thief realized that Jesus was who he said he is and said, " Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." Then Jesus said to him, " Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise." In the book of Ruth it talks about when Ruth's husband died she went with her mother in law Naomi and adopted Naomi's belief as her own. These are just 3 examples of many in the Bible.

Jackie Gleason accepted Christ as his Saviour the day before he died. Kirk Cameron converted to Christianity while on the T.V. show growing pains.

I personally have had the great priviledge of leading many people to the Lord. Some thought they were already saved, some didn't know for sure. One person was Muslim. Just this past July I was able to lead my own daughter to the Lord. Believe it or not, people converting happens on a daily basis.

I hope this helps you find whatever you are looking for.

yeah. go to india; There are mass conversions going on.

Christians go in as social workers with money in their pockets and tell the poor and the destitute that the christian god is better than the hindu god.

They put the burden of the cross round a little child's neck. They tell the child that he or she has no rights because of poverty. But who made them poor?

Go see it with your own eyes. That is a gross human rights violation, not charity.

I have seen enough about christian charity for one lifetime.

One was just in the news there in Afghanistan. Funny thing is, the Muslim are so afraid of losing people to Jesus they have to threaten death to keep them in line.
