Why do you care if others are atheist?

Christians believe that all men are sinners who are hellbound unless they accept Christ (who paid the price for their sins). So of course they are going to try and get anyone they care about to accept Christ, otherwise they are dooming them to Hell.

What is more important, not wanting to offend someone with your religious beliefs, or having them go to Hell because you didnt try to get them to accept Christ?

If there is a very deep abyss and you see some group of people are running towards it ,

there are 2 options you can do ;

1) Recklessly , you can just watch ppl pass by and then fall down & die

( this is not human )

2) Or you can warn them & inform them about the abyss & danger.

(this is a what a normal human being would do )

now do you get why some believers are trying to convert the path of atheists'?

Atheists oftentimes do no longer care what others have self belief see you later because it a million) does not infringe on human beings's civil rights and a pair of) does not contain distorting the empirical findings of technological know-how.

personally i couldn't care less what people think. that's why i'm a UU. ;-)

but i think that many religious people (not just christians) really truly believe that they're right, and they think that they're helping people by trying to get them to believe "the truth." if you knew someone was driving on a road that dead ended off of a cliff, wouldn't you try to stop them? many people that believe that their religion is the one and only truth and are trying to stop other people from "going down the wrong path."

Simple, it is the duty, as commanded by God, to convert people and enlighten them with an accurate knowledge of truth. I believe the bible was created by man in an attempt to control the majority and keep them submissive, and what better way to do it than to have the majority cramming it down the throats of others. It appears to me the only people who are living high on the hog are the people that break the rules outlined within the bible. ;-)

I have loved ones who don't believe, and it makes me sad to know that they will spend an eternity in Hell without God (this is my belief due to the fact I am a Christian). Life is but a brief time here on earth, it is what is eternal that matters, and that is my personal belief. I'm not trying to push my beliefs on anyone and if people don't want to believe in Christ, then that is out of my hands. You can't force someone to believe in something that they don't want to believe in. It is just hard (for me) to even think about people that leave this earth without Christ in their hearts.

Often they cite "concern for our souls".

The thing is... I don't want to be constantly pulled out of the way of "oncoming damnation" when it's all in the mind of the person doing the pulling.

Just leave me be. Gosh!

Seriously! People aren't going to listen to people on the internet!

You're the first Christian I have seen on here that has not tried to cram religion down my throat and been genuinely polite to Atheists, and kinda understanding...

Thats very refreshing, thanks

because they want to win their way to heaven by converting people or they want you to go to heaven with them so they can know you will be there with them and enjoy it with them
