Because christians and muslims are heavily invested in an ego-based religious perspective where the 'self' and its survival are worshipped.

I think you have to be born into hindu religion and Jews will allow converts but are extremely leary of outsiders. I don't know a whole lot about buddhists.

Because their "holy" books tell them to. And you can't question the holy book or else you don't have enought faith... which means you are obviously a degenerative soul who must repent by leading others into the light of truth as described by the holy book.

(punctuation is for suckers)

From Paul Harvey:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue
somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I
don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a
lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory
of evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be
endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer
before a football game.

So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there
Reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a
God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the
Players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country
Founded on Christian principles. According to our very
own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others
Better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect-somebody
Chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem,
I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.


If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad,
I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China,
I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.


And I wouldn't be offended.
It wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in Rome .

But what about the atheists? is another argument.

What about them?
Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to
pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If
that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear
plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand.
Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or
two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do.
I don't think a short prayer at a football game is
going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other
cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our
parents and grandparents taught us to pray before
eating; to pray before we go to sleep.

Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a
handful of people and their lawyers are telling us
to cease praying.

God, help us.
And if that last sentence offends you,
well .. just sue me.

Because the christians and muslims need to convince themselves of their silly belief systems in order to keep from freakin' about just being stupid AND D-E-A-D...

I can't speak for anyone else, but how can I keep still about eternal life through Jesus? I don't want to "push" anything on anyone....but if someone asks (which they do alot on these pages), I'm happy to answer.

Because christians and muslims are insecure in their beliefs

God charged us (Christians) with sharing our faith, ministering to others and bringing others to Him. Sadly, some do it in a way that turns people off. God loves you and He wants you to spend eternity in heaven with Him. He sent His only Son here to die for your sins (and mine). I pray you will accept Christ and repent. God bless!

It is given to the True Christian to evangelise, but the Muslims have a false god that is the Moon God of Arab Paganism and teach to kill.

Evangelism is a form of diplomacy.
