Why aren't conservative Christians able to mind their own business?
I'm pretty confident Jesus wasn't a busy-body who was hell-bent on finding out what his neighbors were up to and passing judgment on them --- even to the point of advocating the law imposing sanctions on them if they didn't fall in line with His principles.

They actually have low self asteem and if they can get you to agree with thier beliefs it lifts the asteem up. They usually are not doing it to help other cause if they were they would respect others beliefs and not suggest they know all the answeres. Know one can say they know what got is. That is why there are so many different religions trying to convince others that thiers is the only true belief.... What a crock!
God is what you feel close to you but are never able to prove. I am agnostic and believe in God but not so sure if god is a he or a she...lol I think it is humarious to listen to my sisters tell me I'm going to Hell because I don't believe What they believe. I like to mess with them.

This doesn't describe all conservative Christians. Yes, U R correct in 1 sense. Jesus wasn't a busy body and He did not try 2 force His way n 2 other people's business or try and make them abide by His standards, He just told them like it is and let them accept it or reject it.

There are busy-bodies everywhere, and they aren't all conservative Christians.
You are stereotyping an entire group.
And if Jesus wanted to mind His own business, I guess He would have stayed in Heaven, huh? Obviously, He does care about what's going on down here, and what people are doing, or He would not have come to Earth and lived with us and talked with us and taught us how to live better.

Other religions don't have an ultimate penalty for not following said religion, therefore Christians feel it's necessary to convert people. Also, there's some verse in the bible that says to "Spread the Word". (I was forced to go to church with my parents as a kid.)
But yeah. When I tell one to **** off, or stop blocking the road to protest some ****, LISTEN.

Sounds more like a neighbor problem than a religion problem, imho.
Draw the line&tell them to bugger off.
