    The Bible says for the believers to go out and spread the word, some just do it is a way that is offense to others.

    It is not just a different way that is offensive.
    There is a huge difference between "spreading the word" and "forcing the word through your throat", specially as it is clearly against someone's wish.

    I have to agree with Cred. If I ask about someone's beliefs then I should be prepared to get all the info they want to tell me. But if I don't ask and that info is given anyway, and I make it clear that I don't want to hear it, well that's not acceptable.

    I know the Christian mission, they believe that they will be rewarded in heaven if they go out and spread the word. The more people they bring into the fold, the greater the reward.

    If someone asks me about my faith and is really intersted, I'll tell them, but I don't believe that I'll be rewarded if they decided to believe the same things I do. For me belief is it's own reward, I don't have to force my beliefs on anyone else. :)

    I think I mentioned this in this thread or in a similar one. I think the "push" has more to do with preaching to all the world so that Jesus returns for the Second Coming, not for a reward.

    The "mission" of christians who follow the example of Jesus is to spread the message that God's kingdom is soon to bring relief and peace to the entire earth, and that their reward will be eternal life not in heaven but on earth. This reward is believed to be the same for all no matter how many people they "save".

    We and we are everyone, want everyone the agree with us. It would make it so much easier knowing that everyone believes like you. I would love everyone to believe the way I do. I would never have to worry about saying or doing something to offend someone else or someone else saying or doing to offend me. Since everyone does not believe as I do I say and do as I want and try to let it go if someone bothers me, doesn't always work and try to apologize if I bother someone else again doesn't always happen but I do my best. Oh, I'm Right. Sorry just kidding.
