Christians- what if someone's life doesn't really need improvement?
You always hear Christian testamonies about how awful or meaningless their lives were before they were saved. What if you are actually just happy, in a nice marriage, with a nice family and friends, not on drugs and just living a simple, happy, content, fulfilling life? What if you feel at peace in nature and have quiet reflection and spiritual time there?
Take away the threat of hell for a moment. What would Christianity do for someone like that in this life? Wouldn't it just make you busier (going to church, bible studies, etc) and poorer (tithing) and add more stress to your life?
It is easy to tell someone who is feeling low that you can make their life better by them just letting Jesus into their heart. What would your argument be (aside from threats of hell) for someone that was just plain happy?
Fireball- I specifically referred to this life. And I asked a question- this wasn't a rant. I really want to know what people will say.
Bri guy- What if you donate to non-Christian charities that help people, and volunteer? You can make the world better without religion too!
Billybob- mistakes are good experiences to learn and grow, and developing as a person has its own rewards. If you never make mistakes you won't appreciate all the great things you have anyway.

Nietzsche pointed out that Christianity first needs to break the natural human and make them weak or diseased before it can work.
So that means you would have to destroy their happy life before you could give them the good God news

this question may soon be berated by convert-happpy enthusists, but think about what you just said:Religions benefeits may be seen during the lifetime, but ultimately are "seen" afterwards right? A guy may learn to be pious and frugal from the religion although he doesnt follow it. he couldv learned it from someone in his family or immediate area who was religious.this isnt to say that all good and moral things come directly from christianity. The tithing is helping others ( i hope) and the church going is organized debate by one of the best selling books known to man. Its up to the happy guy to take the offer. the goal of religion isnt to improve your current life, its to 1) spread the word, 2) improve your current world, 3) be selfless and help those around you..not improve your own

I would take an all loving God that watches over you and cares for you any day. It would also be nice to know that my life isn't by accident and I have a purpose.

well theres always room for improvement in someone's life... nobody is perfect
I know that if i didnt have Jesus in my life my life would be nothing
Jesus is my life
and without Jesus in your life there is always something missing
you cant run from the truth
no one is truly happy without Jesus
