It’s my feeling that some Christians, particularly fundamentalists or born-again Christians, feel a need to tell others how to live their lives. On the other hand, while messages from society and the media may not necessarily be ‘Christian,’ I don’t see non-Christians telling Christians to change their beliefs. Wouldn’t it be more ‘Christian’ to live and let live, or turn the other cheek? Is their some religious reason behind this?

I agree with you 100%. I’m Jewish and Jews do not seek converts. We believe there are many roads to God and can respect others as long as they are not harming us. Why can’t all religions adopt this “live and let live” policy? Frankly, I find it insulting and condescending when others try to convert me for it implies that their religion is better than mine. the Crusades, Spanish Inquisition and Holocaust have tortured and killed Jews for their beliefs. Why would I consider converting to a relgion that is not only intolerant of others’ beliefs, but will kill others “in the name of God”? Just Curious
