I want this to be my last question here... God didn't tell me to fight with people about religion he told me to preach to people not hit them over the head with the Bible....
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
I hope you find the truth... because there has to be one thing we can agree on (maybe we can agree) that there can't be more than one truth...

I try to live by it. But I still tell people about the Lord. I love him

I actually hope more people live it. Based on some of the answers here, more and more people see Christians as hypocrites. Your actions and choices can speak volumes. I know that I have a really hard time writing my beliefs down. It never seems to read the same as it feels to me. I would rather lead by example. I have seen that work. I've had people come to me and ask me questions about God because they appreciated things that I have done. I think that's a great testimony for God and the work of The Holy Spirit. But that's me. I know there are others who can speak and inspire.
God Bless you and Merry Christmas.

It's been my experience people of faith spend more time talking. Everyone likes to know they're doing good and for some Christians that means showing everyone how holy they are. Remember we're not talking about all Christians here; good examples are the guy that forces team prayers before the high school football game, people that do the same before town council meetings, and people that defend "under God" in the pledge of allegence (and "In God We Trust on the Money) like it life or death. All are shows of piety, not the real thing.

People of great Faith live it by example and by doing so teach it.
If words are required they are subtle in strength and spoken with quiet truth.
There are many faiths and all reverent. Thus, there are many truths.
The error, if there be any, is in mankind, not the Faiths.
The atheist was at 18,000 ft. in his fairly new Cessna. The engine failed.
Shocked. Panicked, he uttered, "Oh, my God!" -- "Yes, my son."
There is power in example although at times it may not seem to be.

I was saved at the age of 11, Sense then I've lived well and seen many wonders. But I pressure no one to my calling. Each must find the way on there own terms and in there own time.

They spend more time judging other people and picking out those sins in the bible that affect others rather than themselves.
