I fell into the perspective of people who want to convert everyone away (from Christianity). Here is how it happened and why I’m worried.

So I’m a Christian.<br><br>I had a friend who was an atheist. It went well. I had a friend who was a Buddhist. It went well. I had a friend who was Mormon. It went well. I had a friend who was a Muslim. It went well. I had friends who didn’t know, agnostic, and also had friends who were also Christian. You guessed it, it went well. <br><br>I’m not saying that I’m the best person of all time. But I try to be a good friend to everybody. I have friends of all backgrounds. <br><br>One day, I was discussing religion with a friend who was Hindu. Now, I knew a Hindu could not be converted from a conversation. But just a little background, to set this up. <br><br>My friend is from India, moved to Canada once they had kids. I met them through a dance class. My friend is the nicest person I know, and they just happen to be Hindu.<br><br>I can’t recall exactly what we were discussing, but they did something like this:<br><br>What do you think is the impact on people’s behaviour when you believe in original sin?<br><br>I gave my thoughts, and they didn’t differ much from the standard Christian line.<br><br>Then my friend asked:<br><br>What do you think is the impact on people’s behaviour when you believe in original innocence?<br><br>That simply blew my mind. I felt a weight was lifted off of me, I felt more confident, I felt like I can now live more freely and be a better person to others.<br><br>I then learned more about Hinduism, and I realized that we Hindus have been right all along. I began exploring other religions, and saw the similarities of what they all taught. I realized that I had been living in a lie and that Christianity was holding me back my whole life. <br><br>Long story short, I converted to Hinduism. But here’s the problem. I now am focused on converting all of my Christian friends out of Christianity. I feel like they are living a lie, and the only way for me to be a good friend is to help them see the truth. <br><br>I feel like I now have to convert all of my Christian friends to set them free.
