Why some christians are converting people?

I think in their religioun it says to share the word or gospil. Some people think it means to make others think like them and make everyone Christians. If you haven't heard of Christianity or don't believe then you will go to hell acording to them. That's why they do the mission thing to go "help" people in third world countires. They do help them out with water and crops and helping to build houses and schools but then they teach or in my opionion force their way of thinking on them.

Conversions are not limited to Christians alone, Muslims do this too. I think most religions do. This is the first time I heard that Buddhists don't convert would be followers. I'm just confused on why you feel hurt when people try to convert you since all you need to do is say "no" and I'm sure those who are inviting you won't force you to join. I am a Christian and I have friends who are inviting me to become a muslim but I said no and that's the end of it and we're still friends. It's just a matter of respect.

I agree with you Raja. People should think in which religion they want to be. Though Preachers is doing their work. But its upto the individual to change or not to change

My dear, Christians are following the commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ to go and preach all nations so they too could have the grace of salvation. This is a duty they have to fulfill and out of compassion for all lost souls who will surely go to hell unless they find the right faith.

One of my more annoying experiences was when a young woman who'd refused to go out with me because I was too young for her (although she was several years younger than me) started going out with a boy who was even younger than her. I think much the same inconcistency applies to people's attitudes towards Christianity and Islam. They complain about Christianity being sexist or intolerant or the scriptures being hard to believe. Then they turn around and are positive about Islam although it's worse by the same criteria! Here you are, complaining about Christian priests converting people to Christianity but far more people are getting converted to Islam. Islam uses violence, terrorism and persecution, like unfair taxes, to encourage people to convert. Christianity does none of these things! You're really being unfair in singling Christians out for criticism here! You even say "Other religious people don't involve in these kind of conversion" as if Christians are the only people to seek converts, which isn't true at all! You say you respect Buddhism and Buddha. How can you respect a man who walked out on his wife and kid? Buddha wasn't a god or prophet, he was just a philosopher. If you're looking for somebody to base your religion on, you really should choose somebody with a hot line to the paranormal! I've never walked out on my wife, doesn't that make me better than Buddha? The main tenant of Buddhism is "to exist is to suffer". The main objective is to reach nirvana and cease to exist in order to stop being reincarnated. However most Buddhists don't believe in reincarnation, which really renders the whole thing pointless.

Actually, I wold have to say that NO ONE does have a perfect relationship with their God. And that was my point, that relationship is between you and God and therefore, unless it perfect, then, who are we to look at out brother and judge whatever imperfection he may have in his belief( Relationship with his God ). Dpoind so maks a statement that we are in fact equal to or superior to our God.

One has to be very critical when it comes to religion. Most people just say something and then retract because what they said has hurt others and offended many a people. I also have heard of cases where people are getting converted to some other religion when lured with financial benefits, but I feel that such a change is not with the heart. If people can follow some other religion just for the sake of money and a good living, then I think ti's not worth the change because the whole point of conversion if the liking for the values and ethics and culture of the other religion. It is sad to know that many people are falling into this trap and I guess they will be made to pay later heavily when the time actually comes. bourne

There is nothing wrong in conversion.BUT it should not be done using MONEY.I know this is happening in India's tribal lands and thats seriously bad. People should convert to certain religion because they find it spiritually appealing.It do get on my nerves when some people subscribing certain religion says Pagans and Idolaters are going to burn in hell.

I just think it's true that if someone converts only through thinking and determination without a compulsion, you know, many cases the spread of religion in a way not fair, especially in a region that has a bad economic situation. You know? Here poor people can switch religions because life assurance, food each month can make them change. It is sad how that is taken to spread a doctrine. Do people think to lure sheep with grass? It is a complex reality.

First you must have a perfect relationship between YOU AND YOUR GOD, then, and only then can you look to your brother.

Conversions can only happen when a person is willing to get converted. There may be some reasons why a person want to get converted. People who have been thrown out of their own community and no help or assistance available tend to get converted. Some people get converted when they offered or some money or some kind of benefits. Conversion from one religion to another do not change the attitude of the people towards the society they live in. In my opinion people should try to be more human and respect the humanity instead of indulging in conversions. To me being a human is more important than being a Christian, Hindu, Budhist or any other.
