All good living religious people give witness to their beliefs in how they live. I know of no church that promises healing if you become a Christian. Many cults and sects make false claims - these are not Christians. Christian doctors are at work in the fight against AIDS and disease on every continent. This work is funded by Christian charities and help and assistance is given to local people whatever their religion.

Answer 4

Catholics feel the same way about evangelical fundamentalists. converting Catholics is a feather in their cap. I'm just saying that their main target are not only atheists, but also Christians that preceded their version of Christianity.

Answer 5

Christianity is a religion that believes in trying to convert non-believers so they can be saved. This has its roots in the spread of the early Christian church throughout the Roman Empire.

Answer 6

A lot of Christians are frightened. Preachers take advantage of this fear and convince people to go out and try to convert others, in an effort to appease an angry God.

Other Christians are woefully neurotic and psychologically codependent and have never learned how to MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS.

Most Christians have tons of stuff in their own lives that needs fixing, but instead of focusing on their own lives, they prefer a big distraction of trying fix you and me.

Many Christians are fine people who simply never stop to think and just do what they are told to do.

So once they realize that they don't have to go out and save the world, it's an enormous emotional relief.

Some collapse in the street when they realize this, and have 'nervous break-downs' that last for years.

Eventually they heal and become 'Recovering Ex-Evangelicals'.

At their weekly 12-Step meetings they say:

"Hello, my name is Mark, and I am powerless over my compulsion to alter the lives of other people, and as a result of my obsessive attempts to change other people, my life has become miserable and unmanageable.'

Answer 7

i don't know that they are trying to score brownie points as you say, from what i read not all christians do this only those who are evangelical and that is what they believe god asks them to do so to them if they don't at least ask others or offer up their beliefs to others then they are disobeying god. do what you would do if offered a dish you don't want or dislike...say no thanks, thats all. most all religions are good for mankind but there are those who pervert it and use it for their own selfish agendas that are the problem...its not the religion its the ppl. so give them a break, most believers (any religion) are just trying to do good, the ones that aren't ignore them.

Answer 8

You see, Jesus never said to form religions. And half of the ridiculous crap you see in religions - Jesus, or God, never said to do. Such as incense at mass, or praying to saints, or even taking communion - Jesus never said we should recreate that.

Religion, like any other club's survival, largely depends on recruitment of other members. To stay on top, it's required by many churches to minister and preach to nonbelievers. They claim it's to save the other people from damnation, and many do honestly believe that, but in reality, it's just to see who can get the most members, so they can say "We're the ones who are right."

Answer 9

Bluntly I think those doing that are a bunch of nutters. As one person put it: The whole world has heard of Jesus, there is no need to bash people round!
I am a Christian (Anglican, cf. ChurchofEngland). The church is there for anyone who wants it. I see no point in badgering.

Well I guess trying to convert people is a lesser evil than being killed because your not a muslim of the "right" sect. Just wanted to show that there's plenty of cr
