[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Religious people constantly try to get others to join the faith. Why do you think it's so weird that non religious people might do the same? It's obviously popular among many different groups to try to get others to believe as you do. [/quote]

Well from a Christian perspective it is literally part of the faith to bring others to Christ. We are called to The Great Commission. To share the Good News the Jesus died on the cross for your sins and my sins…to pay the price for that sin FOR us—that all who put their faith in Him and accept this grace are forgiven and will live eternally with God in heaven.
That’s the pay-off. That we are serving the will of God by sharing the gospel. And we would be selfish and UN-Christlike to be silent about this and keep the news of this opportunity for salvation only unto ourselves.

For atheists who want to convert others, I’m not clear on the point apart from convincing others to walk in darkness with them? What is the pay off? I don’t know.[/quote]

Don’t forget, they tend to call religious people dumb and ignorant before they want them to walk off in the darkness with them.

Doesn’t that sound great? Walking in the dark with someone who doesn’t like you! [/quote]

Happens all the time, but we are called to pray for them and continue to be kind in the face of adversity.
If Christians are being praised by the world, we are doing it wrong, because we are told over and over that we are called to be IN the world but not OF the world. My validation comes from Christ. I will not call what is evil GOOD and I will not call what is good EVIL, but I will show love to others and walk alongside them in their struggle.[/quote]

Are you trolling? Or do you actually believe this crap?
