why must either force their religion on the other, is it so bad to let them worship whatever they want as long as they do not hurt anyone?

In a committee meeting once a very wise man said, "Forced Belief is not Belief." We must find Belief within ourselves. I doubt that it is a matter of "Belief" that is troubling you - I suspect it is a matter of conformity, an entirely different thing. I have learned that outward conformity has very little to do with Belief. Unless it means something to me, it means nothing. Thus if religious practices that others think are necessary are meaningless to you, you are not coerced by them. Small example - some people believe that making the sign of the Cross in worship services is a must-do at certain points. I once thought it was meaningless "show-off", I have learned that we are not pure spirit, but both spiritual and physical. Therefore what I do with my body reinforces my mind and my heart. Hope this helps.

it really is a controversy for the numbers. In essence, you assert on account that there are more effective Christians than different religions, it should be actual. If it really is actual, then because there are more effective Catholics than the different Christian faith, Catholicism should be actual. also, Christianity has actually somewhat more effective followers than Islam, so is it basically about as actual as Christianity? popularity would not equivalent reality. You beleive over a million billion Muslims are heavily inaccurate and incorrect, actually because they were born partly of the international that Islam is widely used. are you able to no longer see, from an objective perspective, that they (and different religions) imagine an same of you? Christians prefer to declare that the Holy Spirit interceeds to exhibit a Christian the reality via the bible. If it really is actual, then why to all Christians disagree on basically about each and every thing? It makes the HS seem the more severe and maximum ineffective deity ever conceived.

Some religions believe that you must convert non-believers to that religion in order for that other person to be "saved".
I go with the whole worship and let worship. :)

I pretty much asked this same question several weeks ago. There are some who still feel the need to "witness" to others whether the others have any desire to hear about the religion or not. Apparently, you can't be left to your own beliefs, whatever they might be. Also, apparently, you're not intelligent enough to form your own opinions without benefit of others beating you over the head with why you should believe as they do. Sad, isn't it?

on this logic the prophets of God shouldnt have called to the worship of God? just left the people to worship whatever they wanted?

People of different religions should just leave eachother alone as far as that's concerned.

It isn't bad at all. I think it's a great idea.

what someone believes is not important. what is important is how they treat others.
