Well, then, Napalm, what exactly is a missionary? Someone who goes and tells people that they'll go to hell unless they accept Christianity, in order to convert so-called heathens. That sounds a lot like criticizing those of other beliefs to me!
Missonarys are kind and loving people Whats so bad about trying to convert someone
um...yeah, most of america is christian...and the last time i actually 'heard' (as in verbal) a person of another religion completly bash christianity, was...well a long time ago. it doesnt happen that often, on the other hand, a friend of mine, was bashing another for being mormon this morning...christians aren't in minority, and if you really think the world is against you...get all the christians together, even the criminals, and go on a crusade, converting the rest of the world to christianity, so they'll be safe and won't go to your hell. also, i'm not any kind of anti-christ person either... my family is christian, and i just question it...and really i think your trying to bring pitty to yourself...or starting a conroversial thread just to see what happens...

Ask everyone who ever fell under Hitler's rule, and died. The situations weren't as extreme, and where missionaries will remind you of the consequences, the Nazi regimes actually put you in them.
I'm a Christian, and it isn't "missionaries" place to put their faith on other people. People will believe if they want to, and they have to find their relationship with God themselves, IMO.
Getting invited to church is one thing, guerilla conversion missions are a whole 'nother beast.

Did you read this?
Actually it isn't. Atleast 67% of the Earth's population is not Christian.
How can the majority of people in the world be Christian if only 33% of people are Christian? Last time I checked, 33% is less than 51%, and you need at least 51% to have a majority. In many countries the majority of people may be Christian, but NOT the majority of the entire world.
