Pritchke,

I believe there is an underlying theme to your post above that many people forget in their quest to convert others. The theme is tolerance and guidance. The old saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.” Very much applies to the mentality I possess.

Hitting me on the head and telling me I am wrong does not promote the philosophical thinking required for a person to come to a conclusion concerning his or her faith. Conversion does not happen when a party is not willing. Each person has to make it his or her own personal choice, and they are only going to do so on their own terms.

Anyways, I wish more people could approach the concept of religion in the same manner. It promotes discussion and understanding.
