go around and force their religion on others? to try to change the way society is ran? to control the masses?
there must be, cause it seems to me a lot of them are bent on doing this.

in the NT, paul says that its okay to lie and be deceptive in order to gain converts.
Corinthians 9:20-22: To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law -- though not being myself under the law -- that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law -- not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ -- that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak.
Romans 3:7: If through my lies God’s truth abounds to His glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?
Philippians 1:18: In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Jesus is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.

You do not perceive the way you should- We share the gospel, yes because God commands us to- How is one to know the truth if it is not heard? Romans 10:17 says "Faith comes from hearing and by hearing the word of God"
2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
-Also Jesus commands us to be fishers of men--this means to share the gospel and hope and pray they receive it--clutch onto it because we know it will save them. God saves them, we don't, we just share the good news out of love and obedience to Christ- PLUS I care about others and I would wish hell on no one. Back to the cure anaology--if you had a disease and everyone else had that same disease but you found a cure, wouldn't you want to share that cure with everyone else? Or would you not care if they came to their death?

Quoting Jesus Christ "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them all whatsoever things I have commanded you, and lo I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."- Matthew 28:19,20
I guess you better tell Jesus you got a problem.

:)
Matthew 28:16-20
"Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Christians can convert people without changing their culture or their societal governing system.
Matthew 28:18 "Go and make disciples of all nations."

Yeah in a way there is We are told to go forth and spread the Word. I know most of us just seem obnoxious and that is fine. Just know that with most everyone it is done out of love. God Bless.

I'm really sad on hearing this...because I'm a Christian and it's sad to hear fellow Christians doing these things. I don't think that anybody should force their religion upon anybody! They should love others and treat others with love and respect like Jesus did.

the Bible says we are to go into the cities and teach Gods word and if they reject God and reject what we tell them then we are to shake the dust of that City from off our shoes. basicaly if you prove to be a lost cause we are to leave you alone.

its called evangelism, there is a difference between taking the packet and having a nice day and holding you down and tattooing it to you. how can that be considered "taking over the world"?

You say it more harshly than it really is. It is referenced in the Bible to witness to the unbelievers and people who don't know God.
