Why do half the people who visit the WEPR forums smear Christianity? Why don't you people realize that, yeah, Christians can be real dumb-a** mofo's from time to time, but yet there are many, many Christian organizations out there that do good all across the globe. Why must you spend your time trying to convince people that Christians are bad people when that is simply not true?
One of my good friends is a Jehovahs Witness - I ask him to give me the Watchtower and Awake! magazine every month and I've questioned him extensively about his beliefs and he has questioned me about mine.
Why? Because they are the most consistent and have fewer hypocrisies.
The end times are near join us and repent before it's too late! They tend to have a bit nicer way of putting it but that has been their consistent message from what I have heard from encounters anyway.
All of the ones I've spoken to are pretty well-spoken and know their stuff. I talked to one so long that she told me SHE had to go.
I don't agree with their message or their beliefs. What I do respect is they do a hellavuh job actually living their life by the bible versus the other sects of Christianity.
It seems that the others will blatantly leave out sections that do not fit their lifestyle. Basically, my point is if you're gonna be it, then BE IT!
I have to deal with that religion constantly trying to force itself on me such as through laws.
What laws?
If christians left people alone, and didn't tell people "your going to hell you rotten sinner!" (Had that said to me more then once) they might not have such a bad name.
Anyone who tells you that is being a poor representation of Christianity. That is not what Christians that live according to the Bible say.
I usually tell them that, while I appreciate the sentiment, they could better utilize their life under God by helping out poor people or injured soldiers or volunteering to work with old people etc.

Actually it is. If you don't believe in Jesus then you'll go to hell. (John 14,6: Jesus answered, âI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.)
Right, I believe that that is what will happen, but the Bible does not say to communicate in that way to non-Christians. How is that going to make anyone, even other Christians, want to convert. The Bible is about love, not persecution.
but the Bible does not say to communicate in that way to non-Christians.
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be ****ed.
Now, not everyone goes out to peoples' houses and converts. But those that do, they are probably using these two verses and interpreting them as their mission to convert people. It is only more convenient that the verses "but if you're not saved you will go to hell!" is right next to "Hey, we represent a Christian church, will you join us?"
Since when did condemned need to be asterisked out? This is the truth, but nowhere does it say to go screen "convert of go to hell."
Actually it's the D word. Anyway, it's what's in the bible that is so ambiguous to those that abide by it. Isn't the whole Christian credo "if you're not saved, you go to hell"? They truly believe so, and so they go out and convert people because they truly believe they are doing so for a just cause. And the verses are next to each other, so if you say no, they will go straight to the next verse "you will go to hell if you are not saved".
Also the grammar needs to be checked in your post, because I don't understand what you're getting at.
But Jesus's message is one of peace and live. What does the Spanish Inquisition have to do with anything?
It's again with the ambiguity of the Bible, which is God's word and will. Because of God's will, wars have been started, hate for another's belief continues to rage, and Time is having a hard chew trying to push itself forward, aka "what should be a law cannot be because of religious beliefs".
