I’m a believer in Christ but there were many factors that led me to where I am now. So when a non-Christian, agnostic or atheist express their lack of faith in what I believe, I do not treat it like it’s such an insult to me, my faith or worse yet to God. Their lack of faith does not mean they are deliberately trying not to believe or want to be bad. When I was a non-believer it was because God never revealed Himself to me, not because I was wicked and wanted to do bad things so I give them the same benefit of the doubt. Anyone with common sense knows faith IS subjective. I remember I had to be in the right place, right time, right state of mind for God to reveal himself to me the way that He did. So how can I condemn or pre-judge people who reject my beliefs and assume it means they wickedly want to reject God? I have faith God will reveal himself to ALL and EVERY knee will bow eventually. Don't you? Why do some feel it is ONLY through them and only in their way God will reach people?

Oh, I first answered your question with a completely different feeling then I have now that I read what you said after. Your a beautiful witness and reading your words left me with a warm glow. I had something to say and now I don't. God bless you.!!
Why do the non believers need to blast our Lord & Savior with such hateful remarks & nasty, foul language on y/a ?
Why ?? I want to cry when I think of how Jesus suffered for me and I am honestly ready to fight to defend him.~~~~jill

I belive that everyone has the right to believe or not. We are all equal either way. Some people speak out of ignorance or try to hurt others who believe in something different. I may not be a believer but I respect every ones personal opinion. I really give you credit for being so open minded and not trying to "change people" or stuff what you believe down our throats. I have a lot of respect for you and your views. Thank you for not judging us.

It's because certain people always feel that they are right and everybody else is wrong. When people stop thinking like that and start opening their minds and thinking like adults then people can get into a mature debate about things in general. Then and only then can people can compare beliefs and examine them and come to some sort of understanding.
