I believe they want to convert everyone. The problem is - if you ask them a question they have no answer. They have to look it up or tell you to it's in their bible. They can not carry on an intelligent conversation
You must assume they are all telling the truth of their faith, but they all have different truths. I don't know about anyone else but I don't think they know anything at all. I base that on the book of Genesis. They all claim G_d loves you. Where in that book is there any love? Or anywhere else for that matter. This g_d thing hates everything and everyone. It is so obvious.
This g_d thing destroys all of mankind because he is angry..Now really, what kind of love is that? Destroy everyone and everything - innocents all.
You do not have a chance with that deity. If you are right then you are wrong. If you are wrong then you are right. It makes absolutely NO sense at all. For anyone to take that book as a literal - honest - inerrant truth - I'm sorry in my view they are repulsive sick people. Uneducated is the best kindness I can offer and Ignorant because they want to be. It falls under the category of free will I guess.

Some do, some are content to let us live our own lives. My family is full of christians that don't try to convert me and one that does.

It is in the nature of Christians to find people who needs converting, to save souls. But I guess there should be a point where one will just have to let go. We cannot save those who are destined not to be.

No, I do not.
Live and let live.
All I ask is for a modicum of respect from atheists.
I would appreciate not being told that I am an uneducated idiot (I have 5 degrees) who is deserving of nothing but ridicule.

No. People have an absolute right to believe what they want to.
God wants all of his children to return to him, and gives them a whole lifetime of opportunity, but if they choose not to, that is their choice.
I definately don't want to harass someone who is not interested in learning about God, but care about them the way that they are.

Not exactly. Conversion comes from with in. We want them to hear the word and hopefully change or convert. I feel this way because I want them to accept Christ's gift and because I care about them.

Really we are compelled to share our faith and the good news of theChrist-centered plan for salvation. If you choose not partake of the offered cup, then that is your choice. God even instructs us that to be saved we must proclaim Jesus openly with our mouths.
Short answer is no, not really, we just want to share what we know.

I would like them to know God and religion are not the horrors many of them think they are, though horrible things have been done in the name of both. I would also hope they could discover what it feels like to know God. I want to show what I believe and maybe they'll respond to it.

Yes. It is imperative in their religion to convert the whole world to their belief.
