I am totally confused as to why people around the world tryto convert others to their faith. Why don't we remain agnostic to other beliefs. The biggest mess is created by the Missionaries who endlesly try to make CHRISTIANS (good or bad) rather than making GOOD HUMAN.
Even the so called atheists are no less. If someone is a theist why does it itch them ? Unless the theism of the other person is not bombarding his/her house he/she should not try to move the other person from his/her belief.

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.
