As soon as someone shows some interest towards another Path Immediatly look horrified and either start quoting from the Bible, tell them they are doomed or tell them to go and read the bible. Why can they not leave them to follow thier own faith?

Why should I be thankful for having something rammed down my throat I don't believe in. Seems again I asked a question and again told By some people that I am wrong and I sould be led into salvation.

because they are scared that they might be wrong and need to back themselves up with the only facts that they believe coz they do not have the ability to accept other peoples beliefs

Most christians are not taught to question anything they are taught and when someone does question it sounds like heresy or that you have lost your 'faith'. The funny thing is that Jesus challenged the institutions of the time to be real about their faith but it is not encouraged within Christian communities today. Your spiritual journey is yours. I know the exact look you mean and have chosen to find others that share the desire to understand their spirituality in a different context. This doesn't mean I think the horrified others have necessarily got their faith wrong but are just following a different approach. You only have to look at the many different protestant denominations to see that there are many ways to interpret the same thing.

This is because they follow a false path. We are commanded to tell the truth. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Noone comes to the Father, but through him.
The Bible warns of eternal damnation for those who would not accept forgiveness and salvation and turn from sin. We must warn as well. There is freedom in Jesus.

Christians do that because they know that Jesus is the way (to heaven) the truth (the only true God)and the life (Jesus imparts His zoe life to us). They have a God of love who sends His Son to die for us. They have a God who come down on earth to look for us first rather than having us chase Him all over the heavens and the earth or under the earth. They have a God who once they are saved lives inside them to be their personal coach 24/7. They have a God who walks and talks with them all the time. They have a God who makes them part of His family and treats them as His children. I can go on but what is mentioned enough to show that they have such a good God that He deserves to be shared with others so that others too can enjoy the love, protection and blessings of such a good God. They share their God with you because they love you and want the best for your life. Be thankful to them for their love and kindness to you.

Because a true Christian believes there is one and only one way to Heaven. All other paths lead to eternal damnation in the depths of Hell. If you believed that wouldn't you try to convince everyone you come in contact with that Christianity is the way they should go ?

because they care for you and want you to know the truth and what God has to say about the subject. As far as looking horrified? I would call it sadness.
It is everyone's choice and all people have to make their decision for themselves.

I guess that is just how some people are. My aunt did that to me a lot when i was younger (she is a born again Christian and myself and my mother are Wiccan). She finally backed off a few years ago, eventually who ever is bothering you will get over it. If they don't, just try to distance yourself from them.

For the same reason that Muslims spaz when someone questions their faith
[109.1] Say: O unbelievers!
[109.2] I do not serve that which you serve,
[109.3] Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve:
[109.4] Nor am I going to serve that which you serve,
[109.5] Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I serve:
[109.6] You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.

Hi, This is due to the handy work of Jinn/Devil and also human nature to follow their own desires rather than following the simple message of all the prophets that is to believe in ONLY ONE GOD in order to achieve the PURPOSE OF LIFE.
Man or science and technology in their own limitations can’t answer this things/believes/struggle. Only thing left for the mankind is to find out from the ONLY ONE CREATOR that created everything that exists.
The thing is people don’t know what to follow. They follow something that haven’t said by Jesus (peace be upon him PBUH) himself. The solution to this is to do a research and find out the AUTHENCITY of the source or the books. It is not at all difficult in today’s world.
In Short: The ONLY PURE ORIGINAL WORD OF GOD is left on the phase of the planet is the HOLY QURAN that came with the prophet 1400 years ago without any SINGLE LETTER corrupted, that Guides, Faith with Proof, shows way of life, tells in details the mission of prophets including Jesus (peace be upon him PBUH), gives answers to all questions, solutions and tells much in details of what will be going to happen (past, present and future) and the purpose of existence, etc. The WORD OF GOD came with the SAME MESSAGE through prophets (from first prophet Adam to last prophet Mohammad (PBU them all) including Jesus (PBUH) and only person to interpret is the prophet of GOD at that time. Unlike HOLY QURAN all the other Books are corrupted and are not in the PURE ORIGINAL WORD OF GOD that’s is due to the handy work of Jinn/Devil and also human nature to follow their own desires rather than following the simple message of all the prophets that is to believe in ONLY ONE GOD in order to achieve the PURPOSE OF LIFE. In Muslim world there are many books available today in different languages of the ORIGINAL INTERPRETATION of the HOLY QURAN by the prophet of GOD about 1400 years ago that is the only interpretation that has to be follow to be the true follower of the prophet as commanded by GOD and the ONLY WAY to SUCCESS that is both in this WORLD and ETERNAL PARADISE. Regards,
