Why do other people care so much if I'm Christian, Muslim, Buddist, Pagan(there are others but you get the idea)? Is their life so dull that they have to try and discerdit everything? If I enjoy life believing in a higher power why do you care? And I'm not hurting anyone or spewing hate.

I'll take your word for it, and even go further and assume that not only do you not spew hate, that you also aren't bigoted against minorities either, and that if you live in the U.S., you fully support the constitutional separate of church & state, and you do not support teaching biblical creationism in public science school classes.
If all of this is true, then we would get along fine, and I would do my best to not offend your beliefs. I apologize if my answers to others who DO have the above negative traits have offended you.

It's not our lives are so dull, quite the opposite! We are a new creation in Christ Jesus that gives us life with hope and joy and we want to share that with you so that you may have this in Jesus also, along with the knowing you will be in heaven with Him someday. If you reject this, that is up to you, no force here. If it's forced, then it isn't genuine anyway.

People who know Jesus as their savior care about other people who don't yet know Him because they don't want anyone to go to Hell before being cast into the Lake of Fire.
2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.

There will always be ******* in every open forum. People do that. The idea is to focus on what you want to get out of your answer and thumbs down what you find offensive. Simple.

Um... I'm gonna guess that the worst people shoving it down your throat are the Baptists? They're like that, they beleive they get extra points for saving other souls.
I just don't get why they're so hellbent on dragging ME to church. I'm a reformed catholic, and at least the catholic church had structure. The baptists sound like raving lunatics up there...
Could be they're trying to find a common ground between you and them. the only common ground between me and my dad most times is dicussing religion, but we both understand that neither of us have solid beleifs.
