Sulusuwakis- I'm really sorry people have hurt you. That makes me sad, too. I don't like that either. I'm sorry you feel this way. That has never been my intention, at all. Please consider that since I am a Christian, I try to follow God's instructions. Not because I have to, but because I want to. And...I don't have to, if I don't want to. It's my choice. But...because of my love for God, I want to. Jesus' wish was for his followers to go out and share with others, how he died on the cross for their sins, so they would know how to get to heaven. There's nothing bad about that. That's good news. So naturally, I want to share his message, as he asked, so others can know him, too. That's all it is. To share, not to force. Then what they do with that information is up to them. I am totally against forcing religion down someone's throat. I'm simply delivering God's message and commission. Religion gets messy and forces people. Totally unchristian like. I do not have "religion". I have a personal relationship with Jesus, my Savior. Big difference. It's really not about focusing on any one religion or denomination. God is Truth, and truth never changes, regardless of culture, denominations, or individual beliefs. It's about loving others regardless of their beliefs. I think you're special, and obviously very intelligent. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I hope I never come across as being one of those awful people who bully people or try to scare them into placing their trust in Christ. They do much more harm than good. God meant that to be a free choice! I'm just the messenger. Sorry if I bothered you. Hugs! ❤
