Why do you bother me with your religion...?
Why? I don't care to hear it, why do you insist? Do you think I am going to change my mind after you pester me non-stop?
I honestly respect all your beliefs, but YOU have to respect that I do not want to hear it.
Explain yourselves.

Well, all christians such as myself should reflect Christ in their daily lives. Not always "pestering" people about how our belief is the only right one. I have seen at least a hundred people become christians. Do u know why? Not because of a theological arguement, but because the reality of the gospel. Christians are called to raise the dead, heal the sick, and cleanse the lepers. Sadly not many( in north america especially) do this or even believe it's right to do so. Jesus is real i have seen him heal many people, including blind eyes, broken limbs, and cancer. Before you dismiss christianity, look into denominations that believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. I probably wouldnt truly believe christianity if i had not seen how much power Jesus has. Many christians have experianced the supernatural, at a depth NO other religion or cult could dream of. Jesus is real!!!

There are some "Christians" who feel the need to abuse others by talking a game and not living it. A real christian does not have to say much, but by walking and showing respect to others and then giving time, patience, a listening ear and a calming nature
can bless you with a peace that is unusual in our experience. when there are people that make you feel better and not less than
you can behold a christian. Read the bible for inspiration, and practice by the experiences of life to show just what is Christ like.

Well first off which group of Christians? That's important because there are so many divisions amongst Protestantism and many Protestants don't wish to recognise Catholics as first Christians, (its an inferiority complex of theirs I believe).
Regardless many zealous Christians are instructed you'll burn in hell if not converted (usually these are the fundamentalist types)
The less zealous with authentic authority and apostolic succession understand that conversion of anybody requires the intercession of the Holy Spirit it is never them alone. Also this type evangelist understand the possibility of your salvation regardless of your conversion because God can chose to be merciful.
Note: if you run into the zealot-type ask them if they agree anything is possible for God, because it is written "nothing is impossible for God"
And so praying for God's mercy privately would be more appropriate in your case as you are closed to any suggestion of conversion at this time.

It is because they love you and do not want you to suffer eternal damnation in the next life. They believe that this life is only temporary. When we die, we start another life which will either be with a God who created us and loves us. Or eternally without God (in other words, everything you can think of that happens when a loving God is not present (tears, pain, disease, hate, abuse, rape, pain). Those who pester you are doing their utmost to prevent you from that second option. If you truly loved someone and knew that's where they were headed, wouldn't you do all you could to prevent that? They love you.

I don't know. You want to go to church with me on Sunday and find out?
Honestly, I agree with you completely. I guess people assume that if they're religion is right, then everyone else's has to be wrong. But remember: The people trying to convert you are only doing it because they care about you. If they didn't, they wouldn't...

Damn, what a collection of dopes above me...
They're told to "save" the unwashed masses by the con men in charge of their churches. More brainwashed recruits = more money in the church's hands.

They believe so strongly that you are not saved that instead of discussing the know truth with you, they hammer you with the fact that you are condemned (a decision which lies completely in God's hands and yours).

ok it's just the extremist Christians that keep bugging you or they're Mormons. they think that it is their job to convert ever soul on the earth. If they are coming to your door just don't answer it or put up a sign telling them to go away politely.

Because that is what the resurrected Christ told us to do...for your own good, even if you don't accept it.
I will not force it down your throat (for that never helped anyone) but I will at least offer it to you.
Good question.
PS- Alighter- I am a pastor & we have about 700 coming to our church...if we had 50,000 I still wouldn't make any more money & even if they offered me a substantial raise, I would give it back to help the poor and needy. Nice prejudice though.
