>>And the only reason I'm on here listening to your abuse and taking the time to tell you this. Is because you don't have a prayer, unless somebody tells you<<

That phrase could have been uttered by Mohammed Atta. It is not abuse to point out and expose self-importance. But I've learned that it is pretty pointless. Shining a light on this kind of nonsense never stops proselytes. So I guess we're done here.

People who want to "spread the word" in fact REALLY want to shout to the world how "superior" their adoption of a given creed is.

I'm speaking for my good neighbors here, not myself (I'm a big time sinner), but that isn't true. Christians not only don't want to 'shout to the world that they're superior', they know it wouldn't please God. They also know they're sinners, each and every one, in need of mercy. It isn't an act...'humility' is super-human.

Christians are required to proselytize...commanded by Jesus to share the Gospel, but never to "force" anyone to listen, or ever to act pushy. They make the best neighbors, the kindest Doctors, the most decent police and soldiers and the safest refuge in times of trouble.

They are the opposite of the religions that force their will on others, "or else". They'll be a good neighbor and friend "in spite of". Wherever true Christianity has spread throughout history - liberty has followed...for slaves, women and communities. That's a fact.

"That phrase could have been uttered by Mohammed Atta"

His would have been "convert or I'll kill you".

Why are you surprised that there are counterfeits that resemble the true faith? It's still easy enough to distinquish if you care to take the time. That there are false religions is not going to be much of an excuse. You know or knew in your heart that God is.
