I didn't become a christian until I met Jesus for myself and would have very much agreed with your statement before that moment. However, having had my eyes open to the truth, and given my life to Jesus, I believe my first responsibility is to obey God, over man....and God wants me to tell others about Jesus. I try to do this in a sensitive, friendly and non-judgmental way, and usually tell people I'm a christian and let them ask me about it. I would not push my beliefs onto anyone, because I remember how annoying it was, but it's hard to keep good news to yourself, especially if you believe that those you love will not join you in heaven.....I tend to keep my thoughts private and simply pray for them, it's up to God to show them the truth, as he did for me. good luck in your exams.

And neither should anyone from any other religion for that matter. Why just pick on Christians? Anyone who tries to dictate their beliefs on other people is wrong. However, they should have the right to educate people who want to be educated in that particular religion. I like finding out things about religion out of curiosity but not because I want to follow that religion or those beliefs. It helps me understand people better

Why do Christians try so hard to covert Jews? Why try to covert anyone or get anyone saved. The Holy Spirit is the only one who can save a person anyways. Jesus has been preached since the onslaught of this nation. If people don't want him it's not because he hasn't been preached. They just don't want him.

I have never tried to convert anyone to Christianity and am content to put up with the flack I get for being a Christian, even from my own family. It is definately a case of each to their own as long as they don't harm others. Why does it cause so much grief, live and let live......Please!

Things would be simpler if religious fools kept their views to themselves, but since they will not, I always challenge everybody who says anything religious to prove what they are saying or why their beliefs are valid.
They can not.
"Because 'the bible' or 'God' says so" is not proof, neither is any of the other s h i t they come up with.
And no, I cannot prove God does not exist, but I cannot prove flying elephants don't exist either, but that doesn't prove they do.
Unlike religious people I don't care what other people do - unless it harms the vulnerable...religion however thinks it can dictate how to live.
We do not need to follow organised religions to learn to respect each other, to be compassionate and to live a good life.

I am a Christian and I am against legislating morality. I do believe Chrisitans should share the truth with others but Christ never forced the truth on anyone.

Wrong. Christians are supposed to spread the Gospel, they should try to convince others by peaceful means that their ways are correct.
Muslims do not have the pressure to convert others to Islam as they prefer to kill them

You don't understand, as christians we believe, no, LIVE, under the knowledge that your path takes you either to heaven or hell. Now, what kind of decent human being with any kind of conscious fiber would not want to save a person from hell?

Everyone is obligated to pass on knowledge and information.
If not, scientists should SHUT UP.
Newton's laws are NOT really laws. Eistein showed otherwise.
Should NEWTON shut up?!
Arabs gave us ZERO, before ARABS there was no ZERO, should they shut up!
There is nothing wrong with someone saying something. It is up to the people to look at this and individually interpet to follow or not to follow
That's why we have FLAT EARTHERS to this day!
