All due respect, but your getting away from the main question, an missing the whole post, its not about belief or conversion is it?? Can a non-Christian do good?
Can a non-Christian truly do good in the sight of God? Why or why not? I think it was answered with a yes.

What Christians have written here is most germane to the question inasmuch as God is mentioned. You also have to bear in mind that the #6 posting said "Because God is not religious." That fully brought the religious aspect into the original poster's question since the #6 posting party opened that door. He again mentions God in his posting #9. From there, Christians, of course, have the right to enter the conversation about God, full-force, with conversational elements that continue to be germane. After all, this is a Christianity forum, so why should we try to "censor" what God is leading us to say. And one has to simply wonder why you would seem so peeved at people getting to know one another in this forum when discussing God's word. So, your question should really be directed to "ordinaryguy" and similar others as to why his/their tone would alert other Christians to respond as they have. And of course, if you are a Christian, the conversation at hand would not bother you at all since some aspect of Christianity is always being discussed. If you are not, I can see why it might bother you to no end. Again, whatever question asked in a CHRISTIANITY forum, a Christian person will answer as he or she feels led by the Holy Spirit. That is one thing about being a Christian, we are led by the Spirit to answer as we do, one thing a non-Believer would have a hard time understanding.
Just bringing it back to make sure of the answer, you don't mind if a non-christian interacts do you? My personal interest is the learning, to add to my own knowledge, and see how a no answer could be possible.

Do I mind if a non-Christian interacts you ask? Yes, actually I do mind and so do many other true Christians if the person asking intends to remain a non-Christian, thus, opposing God's ONLY Divine Son Jesus Christ. And a "no" answer is very possible as stated before by Christians. As for continued interaction with unBelievers, this is what actually gives us the Authority to refuse further conversations.
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath Light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? On what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." -- 2 CORINTHIANS 6:14-18 (KJV)
You and others of like mind can now be sure of the answer.
Yes, actually I do mind and so do many other true Christians if the person asking intends to remain a non-Christian, thus, opposing God's ONLY Divine Son Jesus Christ.

You make my heart sad. I read this an said to myself "Oh my God". I actually have tears welled up in my eyes. How can you be so cold? God forgive me for saying that, you don't have the right to turn off the volume to any ear.
I actually question how much Christ love is in your heart. You mind? Do you? Really?
That is just so wrong. How would Jesus have answered that question?
SkyGem, you are human just like me and your response may just had a knee jerk reaction. Please forgive me for taking that statement so hard, but I just could not believe my eyes. I just don't recogonize God's love in that statement.
I am sorry and I do feel bad and hope I am not coming off as scolding you or judging you, but I just strongly disagree with it.
Those who have God's love in their heart and know God and His Son Jesus Christ do not stand taller then those who believe other things. The only differerce between someone who beleives in our Heavenly Father and has Christ love in their heart and soul and those who have chosen to beleive other things or take other paths...the only thing different, is as those who beleive, in my opinion, have an obligation to themselves and to all people, to refect God's love in their actions and words.
If I am wrong in what I have written may I receive God's word in my heart to know what is right.
Besides the obvious question...never mind. Actually NK I agree with you - again. If a Christian doesn't interact with others regardless of their faith - or lack of - they are violating God's command, love your neighbor as yourself. Not to mention it's kind of difficult to have a mission if you have no mission field.

That is so sad, and I feel for you suffering thru such a handicap, may I suggest a personal relationship with a God that YOU understand? I will pray for you.
