This is fine. I'm sure you've read all of the comments, and you know. I respect your decision, even if I disagree.

I accept it. I'm sorry other people don't. I'm weird, because the way I feel about non-believers (I'm married to one) is this:
I'll answer their questions as best as I can...
However. Conversion is up to them. I can't MAKE them believe.
Some Christians don't understand this. They also don't understand the concept of allowing people to know what we are by our ACTIONS instead of our words.
I'm not talking about churches either. I have nothing to do with them, because I don't believe that they're doing enough for their communities. I'm speaking of the INDIVIDUALS. We should make a concerted effort to help those less fortunate, and to demonstrate love and kindness as much as we can.
Preaching will do nothing. That's why I try very hard NOT to preach, especially to the unwilling.
However, I will tell you the same thing I tell others like you:
If you have any questions, ever, feel free to ask them. I'll answer you as best as I can.
The choice is yours to make, though.

Why can't you accept that people do believe and have a right to speak if you ask a question? If you are on a forum such as this, you are subjecting yourself to diverse opinions.
In fact, if you live on this earth, you are subject to different beliefs and opinions. Get over it. You can't shelter yourself from people's beliefs. If you want to, then you need to go live in a world where everyone is just like you.
I have to deal with the atheist mentality and belief system all day, every day. I don't cry to them and tell them to start talking about God. The athiest lifestyle preaches with every sentence they speak. Every opinionated word out of their mouths is ungodly nonsense that I would rather not listen to.
I don't cry about it, because my faith is stronger than their lack of. The very fact that you cannot listen to preaching is evidence that your faith in your belief is weak.

Common Sense should tell you to walk away or move the Hell on if someone is preaching to you. If you are complaining about this section then you are stupid because this is a religious and spirituality category. Stirring up strife reaps destruction and a great fall.

Because of Hope...Noone wants to see you die..We come in Love..Many Christains may not be equipped with the right answers but they come to show love mostly..You think we are being selfish bringing you the way to salvation...Would you jump off a bridge for someone if they was about to jump?? Would you take ridicule, you think it is easy coming to people and telling them about Jesus who don't want to hear..We have found a way out and we bring that to you and you sit back and laugh at them. I say it takes guts to walk to many unbelievers and testify of the Lord...Can you stand up for what you believe in strongly?

couldn't care less about whether you do or do not believe. you have free will to decide and follow your own path through this plane of existence. like everyone else if you respect others free will yours should be respected in return as long as you obey the laws rules and mores of the culture and society in which you live

Because they want you saved. And believe they need to preach Gods word.

Just because they haven't freed their mind from the oppression of religion, religion feeds on peoples fear, fear of the unknown. A good website is www.godisimaginary.com give you some good arguments when the bible bashers come knocking

Because they love you! Do you give up when love is envolved?
Of course I believe in freedom of choice. Thus when you have made your position clear, then they should accept it, love or not!
If they must then they should steer clear of you and have nothing to do with you!
