Love is about selflessness and altruistic intent, how is "force" selfless and altruistic? It's not, it's forcing your self, which is comprised of your views, opinions, and whatever deluded thinking one can bear, on everybody else, including the belief in a "creator god", which not everybody believes in.
Best thing to do is develop an altruistic intent which destroys hate, anger and other delusions and hope that, by example others will follow. One concept is not the "only concept" that works for everyone.

Where does using force for anything get you? Just more force pushing against you. If you want to spread your god's word, BE like him. It will show in your actions more than your words.

By example !people will pay far more attention to what you do and how you live than they will to anything you have to say It is never acceptable to use force for we are told to love each other and love never uses force!
Lk.10:27 He answered: "`Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, `Love your neighbor as yourself.' "

how bout this, what would God do? I don't remember his boy JC using force, why would you. If you want to spred, have dicussions with people without forcing thoughts or beliefs down their throats. Rather, discuss God and his love, listen to objectives and try to make postitive points about these objectives.

It is very unacceptable. That's the only reason y'all still around today; forced belief.
Or you can try to bring back everyone in history who either converted to christian or died.

No.
Love others. Show them kidness. If they are hungry, feed them. If they are poor, give them things they need. If they are hurt, comfort them. Talk with people. Get to know them. Have compassion. Help them.

Of course not.
You spread your faith by being an example of it. Those who see and admire it will ask you about it.
Those who are not seeking will not.

You are wasting your time. God's love does not stop violence.
