I am so digusted in tryin to share God with people who do nothing more than rip you to shreds for doin it. I'm reminded of the fact that Jesus said, something to the effect of, "If they don't accept, wipe their dust from your scandals and move on." I'm tryin to do that, and they're even rippin that one too. Geeesh!

God does not compel people to believe in Him. I also don't compel people to believe in what I am saying. I am a Christian and it is my duty to preach the Word of God, I am not forcing anybody to read my post much more to believe in them. I do not get high ratings because many are rating me negative. Well, that's up to them although it somehow affects my earnings. But my concern is to preach the Word as this is a very good place to do so because the management does not prohibit posting such.

That's probably because most people dont like to have God pushed into their face all the time. Dont push your beliefs on me and I wont push mine on yours. People always want to think that their religion is the only "right" religion and that everyone should believe what they believe!

Elsewhere, I've posted things from learned people, their books, websites, etc. I say something and post scripture to go with what I've said. "God said it. I didn't. If you don't like it, take it up with Him. You'll lose."
What happens when some conversation I start is replied to? What does rating it do?

Well every individual has his own way of thinking and now adays everyone wants to live in their own way, so why even try to do it. You can share only with those who want to share.

I agree that most people don't like religion "shoved in their face all the time." But that doesn't mean that you can't speak about it at all because someone won't like it. If you don't want to read it, move one, no one is making someone read a post. If someone post something you don't like, don't read it. Pass over it. If you insist on going in and reading it, then posting negative and you continue doing that, then in my opinion, you are harrasing someone.
