    Default Why do Christians proselytize?

    If you are happy with your beliefs, why not be happy? If no one asks about your beliefs, why do you insist on lecturing others?
    If you have to tell others why they are wrong, it is you who are wrong.

    Example. There are beer styles I like that a lot of people do not like. I don't go around telling them they are wrong. I can enjoy something without annoying others with my beliefs.

    The second thing which is extremely arrogant, is to say that if you don't convert you are immoral.

    You're thinking about the pompous fake Christians prevalent among the far right. The bible tells us not to make a spectacle out of our beliefs.

    why did an atheist start this thread when no one here was "proselytizing".....

    I don't go around telling them they are wrong
    oh wait, you just did.....

    by the way, converting doesn't make you moral........it just means you're forgiven for being immoral......

    The same reason Muslims do. Why do you hate Christians but not Muslims? Do you hate Jews too?

    So that's why you continue to be immoral and feel safe?

    you may not be doing it well, but you are certainly preaching....

    Or to judge others as well -- which is exactly what they are doing when they tell non-believers (even other Xtians of other flavors!) that they are going to hell.

    I have worked with and gone to school with and lived near Muslim people, yet have never once had one tell me about their religion. Well, other than my lab partner who complained that her hijab was fearfully hot in the St. Louis summers and made her hair flat. lol

    Speak for yourself, pumpkin. Have you ever tried to STOP being immoral? Why not? Just easier this way?
