in a country with a small percentage of christians and they still manage to be the most annoying trying to convert people.
why can't they just leave people alone, not once has a hindu, muslim or any other person from a religion other than christianity confronted me with their beliefs in an attempt to change mine. why christians? why do you do it?

stuff than with Christians trying to convert you!
Originally posted by trev33Because Christians believe that being Christian increases your likelihood of having a happy afterlife. So it is clearly showing love and empathy if they try to convert you.

Muslims, believe the same, but they are less empathetic when it comes to infidels.
Hindus believe that any path to God is OK, so they don't really mind what religion you follow.
Oh, and there are some pretty strong instructions in the Bible telling Christians to go out there and convert others. And there are definitely a few (as mentioned already) who believe that 'saving souls for Jesus' earns them brownie points.

sooo you advocate your beliefs to others because you are insecure about them, someone tell me i am not dreaming and the opposite should be true😕
I have no desire for anyone to follow my spiritual path because I didn't follow anyone else's.
Not saying things couldn't be better...
