If you don't believe your own faith is "superior", then why do you continue to practice it? Don't we all, at some level, think our own is the best?

Maybe some of us have manners and respect for others' beliefs, and feel secure enough in our own beliefs to not have the urge to try to inflict it on other people.

Christians are commanded by Jesus Christ to go into all the world and proclaim the gospel. That’s what we’re to do and we’re to be obedient to God. To our shame, most of us don’t.

I'm sorry.. but, Christians are not allowed to be well-mannered and keep our beliefs to ourselves. We are compelled by Christ to "share", (not inflict) our faith with others.

That said, we all must be respectful of others, and find the "most effective" way to teach others about our the marvelous benefits of our faith. Sometimes the best way is through direct approach. Often, the best way is the more subtle approach of just being a good example.

In any event.. NOTHING Ann said was in any way disrespect, or intended to "inflict" faith on anyone.
