I do belive in God - for the record - just not organized religion. I would just like to know why people feel they have to spread thier own beliefs on other people. Why not just worry about yourself? I am not trying to be rude - I really am curious.

I wouldn't convert you. It's against my religion.

For the same reason I would try to rescue someone from a burning building. I think the problem is that some people want to help, but aren't really the right 'type', and should probably just be quiet. I think not all who are called are called to be ministers or teachers. And most of the time, the ones who scream the loudest are the ones who have the least to say. Kinda makes a bad name for the rest of us.

Organized religion is pathetic - it's people holding on to traditions they think they need to have a better life. Organized religion spoils the realness of what belief in God is. If you believe in God and have Him as King of your life, you don't need to be converted.

Well first off i would not try to convert you because i don't know you but when it comes to people i know and love i would/could do it if i believed they were in danger of eternal hell but i don't believe that either. Why would god let you suffer if he is such a loving god? eternal nothingness sure nut the pig roast that never ends i don't think so.
In conclusion if you had a friend you knew would die if they left the house would you tell them? i think it is the same sort of thing only on a eternal soul level.

Through Jesus Christ, I would - because Jesus Christ asked us to:
"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." - Matthew 28:19-20
As for "organized religion" - most of the New Testament speaks of the construction of the church. Also, man sins - don't let that hold you from your faith. Maybe you could try going to church - it's for God, not mankind.

I wouldn't try to convert you, I am Christian and although I'm suppose to share what I believe I'm only going to do it with them who want to hear it and I think like that cuz when Jesus talk to the people it was the ones who wanted to hear it, he didn't go around shoving himself on people. I can share my beliefs through my actions

No,trying to introduce your religion is far different from trying to make some one believe in God

I would try to "convert" you simply because that is God's first purpose for all Christians -- to bring His lost sheep back into the fold. I would do it because I believe the Word of God and I believe the Book of Revelation. If there is anything I could say or do to convince you or anyone else to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, I would do it. It is God's will and therefore mine as well, that none of His children shall perish. For me it is a labor of love.
As to your comment about "organized religion," I would have to say I agree with you. I am Christian and I do attend church and go to bible study weekly, but our pastors teach directly from the bible, line upon line, precept upon precept. We are not legalistic at all. We just learn what God has to say about His children, how He wants us to represent Him and have His light shine through us. There is no "religious formula" for salvation.

I'm a christian and i wouldn't try an ocnvert you, purely because i don't think you should convert people on the net.
The best thing is just to be a good friend and see where it goes from there.

You may feel that you don't need God now but one day you will need Him and He is just waiting for you.
Ask yourself this question if you were to die in 15 minutes where will you wake up? Wouldn't it be better to believe and wake up in the Lord.
The bible says we are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.

I would not try to convert you. You have the right to believe whatever you choose to believe. Your religion or faith is irrelevant to me. If you are a descent person you could worship cheese and I would still like you just the way you are. I would find cheese worship a little odd but it would just add to your uniqueness.
