Why isn't it enough to just believe?

So I'm having these issues with proselytizing.

As an open accepting human being, it's the spreading of the Christian religion, not the religion that I dislike so much.

Why can't these Christian people believe their religion without forcing it upon people who don't want it?

I am against some of the principles that Christians live by but I accept them and do not force them to live by my rules. It's fine to be Christian, I'm fine with that.

If I don't believe in God, than all those principles don't apply to me. I'm free to believe whatever I want. I prefer to live that way.

You don't need God to be a "good" person. I am the proof of that!

Alright I have deduced from this reasoning that there seem to be two types of Christians in this world: The kind-to-everyone accepting Christians and the ones who believe all non-believers are possessed by the devil and damned to hell.

  1. The reason why christians "force" their religion on others is because they believe thats their purpose. When everyone knows about Christ, meaning learns of his love and salvation for everyone, then their work will be done.

    Lets say a man is giving a million dollars to anyone who comes and visits him at his house. Only a few people know, so they are trying to tell everyone to go and visit this man cause he's really giving out money!!!

    But some ppl are like nah, I don't believe it! Thats impossible!

    Christians have this need to share the good news about GOD. It's not about going to church every Saturday or Sunday, or the singing or the rituals...it's about GOD

  2. When you put it that way it makes more sense. If I knew someone was giving out a million dollars I would direct everyone to them.

    But, what may be a million dollars to you, might not be seen that way by others. I could tell at the service that if I was weak and more vulnerable I might have gone up to the front to be "saved." But I feel very fine not being saved, it actually made me feel weak to be told I was full of so much sin and I need to brake out of my box of filth. I felt like a doormat a few times while we were there, very low and subservient to this almighty great big GOD. It wasn't empowering. I feel more empowered knowing that I am good and not born with sin that I need to get rid of or pray to be saved from.

    I take these religions very lightly because I am happy following my own morals, and proud to be a good person that helps others. That's how a lot of non-christian people feel.
