I kindly ask that if you wish to ask me questions about my faith that it is for informational purposes only, ask for explanation or opinion, and do not attempt to convert me. I will of course give you the same respect.

I'm not so religious, and had no intention of trying to convert anyone. However, I don't see anything disrespectful about someone who does try to persuade me to consider their faith. After all, if you truly believe that you are following the right path, it would be an act of generosity and compassion to share it with others. Those who disagree (as I often do) can simply choose to listen or not, change or not.

For example, a conservative who attempts to "convert" a liberal is not being disrespectful, is he? When one holds a conviction, which they believe, if shared, would benefit another person, why would they NOT want to persuade others to follow?
