>>I thought Christ’s instruction was to spread it and risk life and limb so that others may be “saved”, too, not just yourself...<<
LOL! Hon, you need to study up more.
We are told to lead by example. We live a Christian life and others see that. You, by free will, chose what you want.
If you ask, I will witness to you. But we were not told to force anything down your throat. That mistake was made hundreds of years ago by the Catholic Church.
Come on into this century.
Like I said before, what you are willing to risk for your faith is directly indicative of how much you truly believe in your god-entity.
If you are willing to do only so much as to be able to use faith merely as a psychological salve, then it doesn’t speak much for your faith, or the lack, thereof.
