Q: Well I'm a total "Christ Lover" and I really want my friends to be too. My friends get so annoyed when I talk about Jesus. But I really care about them, and they won't even try to go to church. My church is an awesome church for teenagers, so it's not one of the boring ones for old people. But anyways, how do I get my friends to love Jesus as much as I do. Even when they wont try.

any advice appreciated....

Okay, I admire your passion and your spirit for the topic, I really do. I think it's great that you feel so strongly for a cause. However, I am Jewish (yet I don't go to synagogue at all) so you could consider me to be not a very religious person. Honestly, if you came to me more than once pushing your beliefs on me, I would get very frustrated and annoyed. If you come to me once, and I tell you that church isn't really my thing, I would expect you to respect that about me, just as your friends respect your beliefs. What if someone came to you and said, "Join my Wicca group! It's really cool; you need to try it!" You would say, "No thanks. That's not my thing." Hopefully, that person would understand. But, if they KEPT coming to you, pushing that on you, you wouldn't like it so much, right? I hope this makes sense and you understand that it's awesome you have your religion! But, be very careful trying to spread that religion to other strong-minded people.

hope this helps-
