I mean why do they care what others believe? The Sunni kill Shiite the Catholics kill Prostantants. The TV Evangelists disc the other churches and the pope doesn't think anyone is going to heaven. Why do they feel the need to control minds and say you have to believe this? Why do they care so much?

In most cases their religion tells them to, for various reasons. Some religions tell their followers to kill infidels, others tell them to go save them by converting them because otherwise they'll be tortured in hell for eternity.
Then there are some who feel like they've found the truth and desperately want to share it with everyone, without realizing that what feels true to them might not feel true to someone else.

My understanding is that somewhere in Christianity is a doctrine about an obligation to spread the faith. I know it's not called the "prime directive," but it's something like that. Some faiths have built into them a requirement to try to convert people. This, of course, denegrates all other religions by inplying that they are not as good. And that's where the trouble starts.

All the religions of Christendom are squabbling and hateful becuase none of them are Christains. 1 Cor. 1:10 tells us that Christains are supposed to to be in unity, agreement, and have the same line of thought, or doctrine. In other words, any religion that is fragmented or divided into denominations with different veiws is worthless.

the 1st modification refers back to the government’s place in faith. anticipate which you're splendid and that it does no longer mean “freedom from faith.” What precisely could the government’s place be in faith? Can the government rigidity all and sundry in any given government facility to desire to a particular deity, and if so, which one? Which faith could the government sell? would the government choose Protestantism over Catholicism? could the government choose monotheism over polytheism? Can the government outlaw atheism and rigidity somebody to undertake some variety of religion? What are you advocating?

Most of them have found happiness, peace, hope for a better future, love. a whole new wonderful lifestyle, etc., and they want to share it with others.
If they seem to be controlling and burdensome , it is all because they care about us all. I listen to most of them but cut it short when they start becoming obnoxious. asking me to make a commitment. or collecting money for their cause.

As there are many individuals here, there are many different motives....but Jesus' motives, and those of the apostles, was love....to save souls...(though never by way of forcing anyone to do anything against their own freewill)

that suprises me to. God in his infinite wisdom choose to give us free will knowing some of us would choose the wrong way. Yet men who are not sure they are right make others believe the way they do by force if necessary.
