I read through the Qu'ran, all it says there is that "There shall be no compulsion in religion, your job is to tell and remind, you have no power over those who do not believe."
Basicly a muslims job is just to tell, they don't want to listen or whatever then fine, whatever.
I believe it is the same with Christianity, all you should do is just spread the Gospel, not convince the Gospel.
So, why are you trying to gain converts?
Since when had religion turned into a giant popularity contest?
Long live democracy.
By the way, The Simpsons or Family Guy?

It's a good thing that you are seeking the truth. One day you will find it. Pray about it. Jesus Rules!!!!

The answer is people.
Almost everything that's anything orignated from people. AIDS is one of them.
Well, anyway, religion should not be a contest where one religion boasts to the other, "My religion has the most number of believers". But then again, it's only human to do that.
And yes, Islam doesn't FORCE anyone to believe in it. Neither does any sane religion require you to do this. You just need to stop, listen, ponder. If you agree and you heart is open, good for you. If you don't, well, whatever rocks your boat.

Amen!
Family Guy
But if you look around these pages, you can see that sort of stuff comes from other religions as well, even some not traditionally associated with that sort of stuff...
Sharalai: People that do movie reviews are paid to review them because people want to know about a movie before they go see it. They are *invited* by the population to share thier opinion. They do not go around telling people they *have* to see thier favorite movie, they don't tell them about thier favorite movie uninvited, and they don't tell them that if you disagree you will go to hell. Big difference.

I am Christian, and I do the same thing. I WILL tell of Christ, BUT I cannot OR will I force myself and belief ON NO ONE. It is up to them and them alone to Accept Christ OR Reject Him. They are the ONLY ONE who has to answer for them self at Judgment Day.

IF PEOPLE VIEW SOMETHING AS REALLY GOOD( IE THEIR RELIGION) THEY WANT TO SHARE THIS KNOWLEDGE, JUST AS PEOPLE WHO DO MOVIE REVIEWS, THEY CAN RECOMMEND IT TO YOU BUT ITS JUST THEIR OPINION...SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST OVER OPINIONATED..I THINK PEOPLE TRY TO CONVINCE OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO RE-AFFIRM THEMSELVES, IE- YOU OFTEN DONT FEEL THE NEED TO DEFEND SOMETHING THAT YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN..
BY THE WAY-FAMILY GUY - I ABSOLOUTELY LOVE STEWEY

Because they think Heathens are like brownie points:
Collect more and they think God will love them more.
