In a way, the first reply you received on this question is correct.
You yourself should already know that a relationship with God comes from within. Knowing this you must realize that, getting those that do not believe can not be achieved by words, but,by being an example by living your life as you feel is being true to your heart and God, is the way that we were taught by Christ to be. Never force your beliefs upon another.Everyone has free will and choice. Just live and Love all for where they are at on the finding their connection to God. :):):)

John Trudell said it best: To God "We hope you don't mind but we would like to talk to you. There are some things we need to straighten out. It's about these Christians. They claim to be from you nation. But man you should see the things they do all the time blaming it on you. Manifest, Destiny, Genocide, Maximized Profit, Sterilization, Raping the Earth, Lying, Taking more than they need in all the forms of the greed. We ask them why. They say it's Gods will. Damn God. They make it so hard. Remember Jesus? Would you send him back to them. Tell them not to kill him. Rather they should listen, stop abusing his name and yours. We do not mean to be disrespectful but you know how it is. Our people have their own ways. We never even heard of you until not long ago. Your representatives spoke magnificent things of you which we were willing to believe. But from the way they acted we know you and we were being deceived. We do not mean you or your christian children any bad but you all came to take all we had. We have not seen you but we have heard so much. It is time for you to decide what life is worth. We already remember but maybe you forgot."

It's a threat. An amazing number of people build their self-image into their belief systems. Faced with someone challenging their beliefs, even by presenting an alternative, they feel attacked and attack in return (even if no attack was made).
It's rather silly and needy.
I'm not a Christian. Tired of the nonsense they put up with in here (or that other people do as well, though disagreements and dissent are fine).
I stand up against those who call names, are bigotted (all Christians are....), etc. We have enough to argue about (thank ...God... we can) without adding juvenile nonsense like that.
Join me.

What you don't seem to realize is that your deity belongs to another religion and non-believers in christianity may not wish to partake of that. Any way you look at it it is still an introduction into christianity because you want them to have a relationship with the christian deity.

So I suppose only your religion has a relationship with God? Wait, doesn't everyone religion claim this? So really, what differentiates your religion from any other?

Uh, to worship which god? Yours?
You mean that Judeo-Christian Hebrew war god of Abraham and Isaac?
I'd rather be dragged naked through a desert clinging to the exhaust pipe of a pickup truck by my teeth.
Thanks, but no thanks.

Why would we want a relationship with a thing we do not believe in?

Did it ever occur to you that maybe we are NOT interested in having any sort of relationship with your god?

I can call it light blue or I can call it cyan. It's still the same thing but with a different name.
