Well, I will not judge someone who does that. What I will say is that I wouldn't be able to do that. Not unless I already agree with the religion in question. I must stay true to myself and my beliefs. If I try to be something else other than who I am, I am not me. I guess all I am saying is that I wouldn't do it unless I already believe in that particular religion. That said, though, if someone else chooses to do that, and can embrace the religion, then no worries. I just wouldn't want to involve myself in another religion for the wrong reasons, so to speak...if I'm not going to be in it with my heart, so much for someone else.

They are not true and sincere to their conversion. I have heard some saying such things.
I am a Christian and I follow the Christian religion laid down in the Holy Bible. As a Christian, I am a servant of God and we are commanded to preach the Word. Preaching is the way God calls His children who are scattered all over the world. We do not force people to believe, but we keep on preaching in order that the children of God may hear and they come to the flock. If they turn to the flock, that is what is referred to as conversion.
Preaching has been done since time immemorial so to say. In fact, Noe preached for 150 years for people to turn to God but they did not and so God sent the great flood to destroy His creation except Noe and his sons and all others that were in the ark.
I don't see anything wrong with preaching and conversion into the Christian religion because we do not compel people to turn to God. God gives us wisdom and free will. We have the freedom to choose and so if people turn to God, well and good; if not, God is very sorry but He will not at all force them.
