It drives me crazy when every single day, some nutcase feels the need to try and convert me to their religion.
I've got over zelous Christians when I get off the train, Hari Krishna at the airport etc...I think you get my point.
Why does everyone think they are right and everyone else is dammed and going to hell? Half these monkeys have probably never even taken a moment to look at any of the other religions and realized that most religions, although they have differences, believe in the existance of a single God.
If God is infinite, there are probably an infinite number of paths to reach him.
Not to pick on Christians, but one person came to me today and said "No man cometh to the Father but through Jesus". I agree with this, but you have to remember that Jesus was preaching at a specific time in history to specific people.
Look in other books, you'll see all the prophets have said this in one form or another to their flock.

It drives me crazy too. If I were to do that they would have me thrown in jail as a lunatic.

The answer to your question is not that simple. But I understood the gist of your concern. The question "WHY" does not have an absolute answer. Religion used in a good way can bring peace and happiness but at the same time, when used inappropriately will lead to the current situation in the world.
I strongly believe that most of the folks out there, preaching stuff and trying to convert, doesn't know the true meaning of LIFE or RELIGION. But, the fact is, if someone believes in GOD, or DOES not, it does not matter... LIFE still goes on... LIFE is just a recycle byproduct of what's there in the universe, which came into existence purely by chance... Give a thought to it...
GOOD LUCK BUDDY...

the path to God is narrow, don't get mistaken, the bible is the same as always it all ties together. the christian purpose in our christian walk is to spread Gods Word, i will not argue a person down, will not bring it up unless spoken to . I leave the seed , then i know i have done what I am suppose to do.

First of all, I would like to apologize on behalf of the overzealous Christians. If they truly cared about you, as Christ tells us to do, they wouldn't be forcing it on you. But my question is, exactly how much time have YOU spent doing real research on these religions that everyone else, apparently, knows everything about?

you do not really expect the majority of people to do reading and research do you? How many of your personal acquantances have done the reading and searching. If several, is your answer then I want your name and address cuz I'm wanten to move there.
