They do that because it is one of the doctrines in their faith... "to go and spread the word (good news)". Which they take to mean as "tell everyone about Christianity".

they just probly want you not to follow Jesus but to follow what they believe. I as well am a Christian and i get attacked as well but instead i fight back if they're gonna attack. if not then i dont bother to attack at them.   I agree wit you on lettin everyone believe what they want cause its their life.  Its not their job to change our lives and make us believe in what they believe in.

Because God has a plan for all of us, even children. And we are not supposed to kill our children, it would be murder on our part. As a Christian Mom, I have been given the responsibility to raise my children to be responsible and respectful adults. Yes, it is hard, especially when they rebel. But I feel it is my purpose in life to show them the right way. If they choose differently that still means that I won't stop trying.

Christians are successful and are very powerful in this world. Other groups of people want what we have but they know that inorder to get this kind of power they must convert and this is something they just will not do. So instead they have decided to unite against us.

It's not only Christians and Catholics that think that way but anyways, I am a devote Christian and I think that some Christians have tried to take the role as God.  God gave everyone that right to choose and God understands that everyone is not perfect, not without sin, and wants his children to be happy.  Therefore, I have no problem if they do or don't get married.  I think that those Christians out there that believe they are the ones without sin should cast the first stone because everyone here is a sinner and should not cast judgment.  They need to grow up and stop acting like they are God.

They are not picking and choosing, they  are just saying that if the person is doing wrong and knowing full well that this goes against Christ, they are not truly Christians. A true Christian will fight against wrong. Unfortunatly we are all human and will go the wrong way. And just because someone says they worship Jesus does not mean they are Chrsitians for who can truly read someones heart.

What I've learned is that many people  expect Christians to BE JESUS,  who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we wouldn't have to. I agree that Christians are perceived as weak.  Even at my church,  people try to push me around, bully me,  snap at me,  gossip about me,  etc.   I'm expected to "turn the other cheek" for another slap.  When I stand up for myself,  they are shocked.  When I defend someone who I see is not being treated with compassion, I am criticized.  That's where the strength comes in - continuing to do what is right under adverse circumstances.  What Christians need to do is show the strength through actions,  no matter what the consequence.  \n\nDo you mean that they perceive Christian faith as a weakness in itself,  that living worldly makes a person stronger?  If so,  walking the Christian path is ridden with battles between us and non-believers.  It's part of the chosen path and can be very frustrating. Our peace comes when we know we've done the right thing under trying circumstances. What others' think is hurtful at times.  Yes,  they try to wear us down to believe as they do.  What's most important and that GOD sees our strength (through our actions) that we receive through HIM.  \n\nAs strong as we are as "sheep among wolves",  we are not superior to the wolves.  God loves them as much as He does the sheep.  We must continue to be as understanding and compassionate of them as possible without allowing ourselves to be abused.  This is also part of the path we chose - to love as God loves (to the best of our human ability) - very challenging,  at times.

I see by the answers you are getting that most just don't have a clue, do they?\nWe have hearts because God has a heart.  He wants yours to be in tune with His.  If your heart is in tune with His, you will have peace in every situation.  When you are hurting, He gives you strength to carry on.  He says, "I will never leave you or forsake you."  And we know He never lies, it is not in His nature.  He cannot deceive.\nHis Love is greater than a mother's love for her children.

They are afraid. Their fear of what they don't understand makes them always on the definsive. They are walking around in life in total darkness, while we as Christians can go through this world in Christ's light and not live in fear.\n\nThey fear what they can't control or see. What they do not realize is that when you become Christian, God gives you more of life than what you had without HIm. But since non believers don't have concrete proof of this, their fear of the unknown caused them to lash out foolishly. Essentially what they re doing is telling the world that they are satan's disciples when they behave that way. But consequentiy they will have all the proof they have been asking for, but by then, us Christians will be sitting with Jesus in heaven, and they will be sitting in hell with their lying buddy satan. But they made that choice. God did not put them there. They put themselves there.\n\nJesus is our armour in life. His name is as beautiful as the life we live with Him. His strength is more powerful than all the strongest men in this world put together. And He keeps His promises, which is something that most mortal people can't seem to. So...\nIf the Lord says something, you can bet your life that it is so.\n\nCome visit my prayerline at...\nhttp://www.freepowerboards.com/praywithcarol/praywithcarol.html\n\nEmail me at carolbmartin1958@yahoo.com and I will give you a access code if you wish to become a free member of our little prayerline family in Christ.

REAL Christians don't use that stuff, false Christians do. And if they are true Christians, they will want to have children("be fruitful and multiply"), but it is ok if they have that condition.

these people were probably saved tremendously from their addictions or faults. they don't have room to compromise. our jobs as a Christian is to surround ourselves with other believers. It makes us stronger and harder to break. But there are other Christians who have the ability to communicate the GOod News about Jesus Christ in a way that doesn't shut nonbelievers out. Don't lose hope!

No offense.. but this reminds me of the reason that people thinks that we are pushy freaks...\n\nI mean... I am a Christian... My father is a pastor... but I know that you are opening a can of worms by putting this question on here... \n\nThere are WAAAYYYY too many Athiest with too much time on their hands that LIVE on yahoo answers... \n\nGuarantee they'll say something stupid about this... i.e.  Have an open mind... or freedom of religion... or... that's your opinion not mine... or if your God's so great than why........... blah blah blah... \n\nGood Luck... \n\nThey will see but not SEE... \nThey will hear but not HEAR...

I agree many people fear rejection by their parents and family and community and play along so as not to cause "trouble".  As someone who has questioned the beliefs I can say they are certainly correct.  Athiests are HATED by Christians.  Many even will go as far as to not let their kids come to your house or even worse, they try to convince your kids that their parents are going to hell!  \n\nNice, huh?\n\nI dare anyone, for one week, tell people you are an athiest and watch how fast the christians start to persecute you, not online in opinion forums, but in your town, in your schools, and in your nieghborhood.  It is truly shocking how intolerant they are of people who simply don't believe in their stories and mythology.  Their hatred is palpable.

Aw, they do it because they think it winds us up. I know it doesn't really, but they get taught that in Bible class as a way of making it look like Christianity keeps you cool. I say, listen to Pat Robertson, Ian Paisley or Rush Limbaugh for five minutes and tell yourself that Christians aren't popping a vein out of their necks with suppressed rage.

Well, I think there is a natural desire to survive and that is instinct. I also believe that most people, even the most devout Christians doubt the existence of Heaven deep in their hearts. Also, most people love their famalies and want to be with them. Father or Mother feel they need to do the best to raise their children, and that would require them being alive. No one wants to lose their children, and the only thing I don't understand is why do Christians want to keep brain dead people alive and let them suffer instead of going to Heaven.
