I ask questions based on curiousness. We as humans have so many choices when it comes to everything. Someone is Atheist and someone else is Christian but they both live happy fulfilling lives. It is like I like broccoli and you don't. It is just a decision made by that person and it is in no way affecting your views or what you like. I could care less if you worshiped your own poop or you thought the goat at the petting zoo was god, I respect your decision. I would not push my views on anyone. Why is it such a concern that someone doesn't agree with you? Decisions are a part of life if you want your religion to be respected then respect others.
I fail to see how this would concern other peoples religion. I am not even asking about a specific one. Matter of fact I didn't even say what I agree with. I am also not young and not male.
It is center btw and that had to do with battle of different countries not necessarily religion. They weren't like hey they believe in god or dont lets blow them up.
 
Because in the Christian faith, we believe that it is only through Christ's sacrifice that our sins are redeemed and we have eternal life if we believe. That means those that choose not to believe will not be w/God in the afterlife. We are concerned because we care about their souls. If I had the cure for cancer, I would never keep it to myself. The cure for the sins of this world is much greater.

I also believe that living as a Christian can be hard in some ways, but freeing in others. We aren't condemned for our sins, but loved and forgiven. No matter what terrible things happen in my life, I have a deep sense of peace and hope. I have a Father in Heaven who loves me like to no other and who has found me worthy. This is stuff I have to share because I want others to find what I've found only by the grace of God.
 
I agree with you that decisions are a part of life, and my only concern
is when discussing "religion" is when someone hasn't made their
decision based on the full knowledge
that God has set in place a Savior of His own choosing and that the
Savior is Jesus Christ and that Jesus Christ has marked out the path
for Man to return to God. The problem is clarifying what we are
discussing and verifying their knowledge.

Now, If it becomes clear that they HAVE made their choice
in the full knowledge that God has set in place a Savior of His
own choosing, and that the Savior is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and
that Jesus Christ has marked out the single path for Man to
return to God through His cross, then there is really nothing further
to talk about on the topic.
They can take their road, and I will continue on mine.
 
i want other people to have the opportunity to get to heaven. if u respect someone that worships poop, u are one screwed up kid. fact: broccoli is gross
 
Some religions teach their followers that they have to convert other people to their religion. They see it as part of their mission.

They are always going to be there, foaming a little bit at the mouth and damning you to hell, but don't let them bother you. Work on your relationship with God at your own rate. Use discernment when others try to give you unrequested spiritual "advice."
