why do christians try to force people to convert even if they dont want to?

Because most of them are religiously arrogant

I'm not totally sure why people don't join Christianity. But- I think it might have something to do with it contradicting itself constantly. Another reason might be because people like Evangelicals preach messages of Christ's love-only to turn around and use the Bible to perpetuate xenophobic ideals.

It is not sensible to believe that if you once recieved Christ and then want to back out that you can't.  Why anyone would want to, I don't know.  The very idea of free will must give us that option.  It is like saying that God will force you to go to heaven, when you have changed your mind..  I think he will send you where you want to go.

I am also a Christian and the reason they do is because they're scared. To believe in god is to much for them. And that would mean not going to heaven they would want that. So for them it's easier to just believe that there is no god just a heaven. And that they are going there. E-mail me it would be cool to finally have another believer to talk to. Oh yeah don't listen to this "Skeptic Man".

Most people don't think of the harm they induce on themselves, and believe that their way is right, and most of them don't even think about giving their life to Christ. Some of them want to be in the "in crowd" or they don't want to sacrifice the things of this world. But we as Christians have to be an example for them, to show them that Christ can have control over their life and they still can have good wholesome fun. And what peace he gives us. And indescribable blessings we receive. We must tell them that Jesus is on his way back SOON and we must be born again in Christ to gain eternal life in Heaven.

Christians have always labeled people with different ideas and beliefs as pagan, savages, etc. etc.\n\nMany Christians have an honest desire to help people, but most just can't accept that they might be wrong. They think people who don't go along with the Christian movement deserve to burn in hell.

People have the free will to chose for him or herself.  Those who can be "helped to convert" are spiritually weak to begin with.

why would a homosexual want to be a christian anyway. why would anybody try to fit into a place that doesn't want to accept them.

If the religion you are in is not based on promises that you can give to people who ASK for help, then it is useless. If you are a Christian and you have to judge someone who isn't, you are a Spaz and need to get a life. If you are condemning behaviour and the person didn't exactly ask you for you opinion you are disrespectful. As far as converting, that should be somebody's choice if they want to change to a religion.  I say all this because the above behaviour is not what God's wants Christians to do, I know this because I am one.

Either way it doesn't matter you ll never change my mind so give it up! You people always complain about Christians trying to force their beliefs on you but your doing the same thing. Hypocrite!

Because doing the right thing (obeying God) isn't always easy.\n\nBecause in a world where everyone is always out for "me," believing that someone loved the entire world enough 2000 years ago to die for them *today* seems far-fetched.\n\nBecause in a world where everything is fastFastFAST, there is even more time to be lazy.  Christians are called to do things and go places that are sometimes outside of their comfort zone.  Sometimes a couch seems more comfy.\n\nBecause sometimes people choose to exert more faith to believe that we evolved from a single-celled organism as a product of the Big Bang Theory, than to believe in a loving Creator.\n\nBecause reading the Bible would require people turning off their XBOX or Palm Pilot.\n\nBecause in a world where things can be measured in nanoseconds, people don't have time be still and hear from God.

There will always be people who claim they are doing something in the name of God.  They are not thinking whether or not this is something Jesus would do.  I am sure this is something Jesus would not do.  These people are turning people away from Christ and are giving Christians a bad name.  It angers me to see something like that.  They will have their day when they have to give God an explanation for their actions.

If you look deeply into what the christian religion is, you'll find its a means of controlling, through fear of damnation, the general public.  the best way of controlling  people is convince them that they have a common enemy,  the devil.  Its motivates people to do things they wouldn't normaly do like kill other humans or give all their money to a church.  Anyone who doesn't believe in the church degrades the churches power over people and therefore must be hated.  This includes pagans.  That's a very very condensed version and I hope it still made sense.

haha not all are. i think it is easy for christians to get that holier than thou thing going because they know they are forgiven if they ask and believe. so this tends to make some people believe they can do what they want even at any cost. be very careful also cause there are a lot of psudo-christians who mascarade as christians just so they have the authority, if even just in their eyes, to run down and degrade non-christians. remember Christ preached love above all else, so if you can't love the sinner how can you honestly say you are christian if you can't practice what Christ preached?\n\ni am a christian and try my best to not be hypocritical when i talk about Christ or in my life as i know i am not perfect just perfectly forgiven. :-)

Their book tells them to spread "the word".No matter what they tell us non-Christians,we still have freedom of religion.When this continent was first established,people didn't have that freedom.Christianity was forced on them.Generations later,people of this land are still mostly Christians because the Europeans beliefs passed from generation to generation.It's a parasite.Every area where the Europeans settled,the citizens are  now mostly Christians.However,we still have a right to choose.What makes me upset is when the government base new laws on Christianity.That just pisses me all.If there is freedom of religion in this country,I do not appreciate the government basing new laws on Christianity.

Well, first of all, I am a proud Christian, but I don't try to convert people. I say let them be who they are. You aren't trying to convert me and you don't believe in what I believe in. My dad doesn't believe in God, but I would never say that he is going to hell or that he is a bad person. I guess some just go a little overboard!! I personally apologize for them.

Because they've been sending missionaries to those places for centuries to convert the heathens. It's easier to convert the desperately poor than it is to convert those who can easily say 'no' to what you're offering.
