Christianity is like America, they think they can go to any people(country) and force them what to do and believe.

I'm a Christian and I agree to a point. I do my very best to never judge a person based on anything, including their choice of religion or their lack thereof. There are those who are so burdened, for a lack of a better word, about people going to hell when they die that they seem overbearing and sometimes outright rude. I don't agree with this, but it happens. I believe belief in God is a personal decision and that you shouldn't try to cram what you believe down someones throat. Tell them about Jesus, yes, and then leave them alone.

So obviously you are saying that one can force people to love God? That love is a fake, brainwashed, forced thing?
Honestly I think America is trying to help..whether we agree or disagree on their politics and methods all the time....by the way, Australiadoes a little bit of it too..oh and look at Britains history of it....and perhaps if people think they can handle things better in dealing with world situations, then they should go and stand for government..and offer suggestions that may be better than what countries are trying to do.
With regards to Christianity..if you think it is forcing people to love God by telling them about Him..then perhaps you could do it differently too..or offer other suggestions about it.
By the way, there is enough hatred within the world for some countries..and for christianity..and other things..without this place being used by some to promote it.

Christians who try to force Chistianity on people are always met with resistiance. America is met with ressistiance. I am a Christian but reconize that not everyone sees it my way. I talk about my experience and if it leads or inspires interest...I seems to work the best. If it doesn't, i won't push.

We dont force anyone to believe anything. Missionaries arent going over seas forcing anything, just offering. a few hundred years ago, some people who claimed to be Christian did try to force people to convert but Christians have never done it forcefully... it wouldnt even be a real conversion if we did.

Agree. The European Colonization of America (North, Central, the Caribbean and South) is full of Christian's atrocities.

Some Christians think that they can make people believe in their religion.I use to go to a private school and I wasn't Christian...I wasn't very good looking and I didn't participate in any activities so they picked on me...Idk,some Christians can be nice and some Christians can be mean but if your a Christian you can't automatically go to Heaven.

Americans are not necessariy as such, in my opinion. However, yes, MANY Christians are this way (unfortunately because it's pretty arrogant). But not "all" Christians are that way. Just try to stay far away from those "born again's", they can act pretty nuts, a lot of 'em

They have been doing this since centuries.
In india its worse, they show some tricks like making blind see, dumb talk, etc and tell that they were miracles of jesus.
They just do any thing to spread their faith.
I think its not in the best intrest of christianity itself.

Force is not the issue. It is an issue of presenting a choice, one that Christians know is the answer to eternal life in heaven. Would you tell others if you had the answer to the biggest question of life?

As an American Christian, I feel I must agree with you. It is not right, but it seems to be what the vast majority do.
