So I suppose you would't mind if it was the other way round, if the people of other faith come over and try to convert westerners? Somehow I get the feeling you not too keen on that...

Maybe if ... um ... educatees would quit comparing the Prince of Peace to Allah and Shakti and other martial deities and let us do our job ...?

No one is stopping ya,...freedom of choice, freedom of religion, and freedom from religion is what I stand for

Oh, because there has never been internalized, religiously motivated violence, among Christians. Oh wait.

Personally, I just view us as a generally violent species, internally in conflict with others of our kind for the same resources. I doubt that the entire world being Christian would stop us from warring with each other.

You don't understand what I mean by "missionary," do you?

I mean a man called by God to translate the Bible into another language.

Yes I do, I've seen them in action myself,...do you mind if others do the same with their faith? Spread their message?

With respect to the Bible, or in spite of It? in your opinion.

James said it long before this generation did.

James 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

We won't have peace until the Prince of Peace comes back ... despite what educatees say.

You want a prediction from the Bible? there it is.

Go right ahead.

Acts 5:38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
Acts 5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

With respect and in spite of it. People will always interpret the text differently, and start fights over it. Others would certainly ignore it and fight for their own gain.

That prediction isn't very significant, since humans fight each other on a regular basis, and pretty much have done so since the dawn of our species.

Yes.

Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

Would that not include the Internet highway as well?

What do you say it is?
The record of the history, religious beliefs, mythology, code of laws, etc., of an ancient people whose religion and culture were centered around the belief that they had entered into a covenant with a particular deity.
