Many Christian denominations look at converting non-believers as a basic ‘duty’ for every Christian. They believe that if you are not ‘saved’ before the second coming of Christ (Armageddon), you will be eternally damned. As a non-Christian, I have learned to avoid (when possible) conversations that might even hint at my religious beliefs. I am not ashamed of who I am and what I believe, but I have gotten into too many heated debates about religion with Christians who see me as someone to convert, not as someone who has a belief system that I consider to be as legitimate as theirs.
