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.

It's what everybody wants to believe in. Some people want their god to be better than the other, but in reality it's the same God, it's just called differently by every religion out there.

I think mostly they convert their religion cause they must b lovin someone who is of a different religion or by praying to some other god their wishes or their prayers must have been granted that's why de prefer to convert.

Because their holy books tell them so. It is not an universal rule, but take cristianity, for example. They are told do spread the gospel to the earth, so it is a divine mission from them.

church - chrch
because people search for answers in a religion. if they find another religion that, to them, gives better answers, they immediately choose it as their one. i think that's the reason

i feel that basically all broken down that there is only one huge religion. basically everyone wants one thing to be with God. God can be a higher power or named anything but how they get to be with God is what is different and causes the problems. No religion is wrong just different. there are deeds done for religion that are wrong but having faith in what you believe is never wrong. I am trying to be as general as i can so as not to offend anyone but this is what i believe. I feel that there is the One higher power. i feel that there are male and female aspects of this higher power that you can call on to help you achieve your goals and that this higher power is always with you. i feel you get to choose what happens to you after you die. to be with the higher power you have to be without sin or have Jesus's blood covering the mercy seat for you. either way you get to be with the One. I choose to learn and grow and be without sin thru rebirth and growing as a person. Harming none as i go on my way.
