Non-Christ-believers?

Question

What would a Christian have to do to get you to convert?

Answer 1

They can't. It's forcing your belief onto me and I find that distasteful since it assumes I'm a child needing adult leadership. It's insulting.

My own beliefs are strongly held. There are many ways to honor a creator, I use mine, and resent others forcing me to think my way is wrong.

Answer 2

a christian would have to give me at least three good reasons to convert, but not the " you will have an aweful after life thing", just talk about how much better it will make you feel to have someone like christ to confide in. You should also point out the fact that christianity is an ever expanding religion, in fact, it is the biggest religion on Earth. You could also say that there are many types of christ believers, not just your typical christian.

Answer 3

I was Episcopalian, was studying to become a priest, but quit Christianity because it is a religion based upon the contents of a book that is faulty in many ways. Christianity also does not address those things that I hold dear. I believe in the sanctity of ALL life, and I respect and care for same. There is only one thing that will get me to convert back to Christianity and that is throw away the Bible and live by the true meaning of love for God.

Answer 4

Why do Christians always think it's their duty to get people to convert? When all the Christians quit focusing on other people's sins and look at their own, then I'll convert. Until then, I still believe I have a stronger moral code than most Christians I know. And I don't need a god to tell me if I'm doing right or wrong.

Oh, and Daniel, I believe what you experienced is called "brainwashing."

Answer 5

My husband is a Christian, and I am Wiccan. Before we married, he said, "If I told you I wouldn't marry you unless you converted, you'd convert, right?"
I told him "I am the same as I was when we met, when we fell in love and when you proposed. If you asked me to convert, it would show me disrespect. If I converted because you asked me to, I would be disrespecting myself. There is no real marriage when partners don't respect each other or themselves." We have been together very happily for almost eight years, and have a wonderful son who is being raised both ways, who will make his own educated decision when he's older.
Instead of everyone trying to convert everyone else, why not just accept people as they are??

Answer 6

THERE IS EVIDENCE! MUCH OF IT!

"THE NEW EVIDENCE DEMANDS A VERDICT"
BY JOSH McDOWELL

When Josh McDowell was a pre-law student, he was challenged by a group of Christians to investigate the claims of Jesus from a purely intellectual standpoint. At the time, he felt supremely confident Christianity would fail such an examination, so he set out to prove that Christianity was a sham. Along the way, he discovered something else; he discovered Jesus.

Answer 7

I thought Christians believed in free will.
Are you asking how to take away someone's free will and force them to convert ?

Answer 8

As a Muslim I already believe in Christ -if I didnt I cant be Muslim

id never convert to so-called "Christianity" as it is a pagan perversion of Jesus' monotheism (look at the festival they're celebrating tommorrow) cooked up by the Church and Paul

Answer 9

Sorry - I just can't accept the deity of Christianity. I don't believe that Jesus is a savior god and the "god" of the OT is pretty vindictive, unjust, violent and contradictory. The teachings in the NT from Christ are good but overshadowed by that madman Paul.

Answer 10

To abandon reason and embrace mysticism you'd have to kill me and send me to Hell. No amount of threats, nonsense and fake miracles will convince me. But I'd still think I was more likely in The Matrix than a real Hell. There's just no reason to think such a thing from the evidence presented here on Earth.

Answer 11

I don't see how they could make me convert. They might be able to offer me an incentive to make me claim to have converted, but I couldn't really believe it.
