Hanging out with non-believers

I think I realize how much of a Christian I truly am, and how far I have come in the 7 years I've become a believer in Jesus Christ.

I love Jesus so much.  He is amazing, beautiful.  He gives me so much love, life and hope.

Even if Jesus were a delusion and this was all a lie, which it's not, I think I would choose to believe anyway.  I feel so much love and hope for life that I can NOT imagine returning to a life without God and a belief and love from Him, for Him.

Chains are broken, but it's tough to be around non-believers who rail against your beliefs as though you are foolish, imbecilic, ignorant beyond all doubt.

But the truth of the matter is, if none of us know the answers, then they don't know either, so why are they trying to convert me back?  They are just as guilty of trying to convert me to be a non-believer.

Conversion is only evil if a Christian is attempting to share their faith and love of Jesus?!?!?!?!  If you're a non-believer trying to convince someone of atheism, then OH MY GOSH, that's okay and has nothing to do with conversion.  What's wrong with conversion?  Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to believe what they want and share what they want.  How come everyone else is allowed to share except Christians?  You call us hypocrites, but the mirror is staring at you in the face.

I love being converted to a bible believing Christian.  I embrace it.
I love that I'm saved.  I'll share my beliefs until the day I die and I'm taken up to heaven.

If I'm wrong, I'll have lived a fantastically full and exciting life filled with LOVE, PEACE, HAPPINESS, and CONVICTION.

I never want people to feel that I didn't try hard enough with them.  That I didn't love them enough to share the reality of heaven and hell.  Oh, we can only live our lives with the love of Christ, and share the Gospel, that Jesus is the son of God, sent to die as a human on the cross to be the ultimate sacrifice for all of the sins of mankind once and for all.  He died and resurrected (there are many witnesses) and he eventually returned to heaven.

It may be a delusion.  But to me, it's real.  And my life is the better for it.  And yours will be too.

I see the lives of people around me who don't believe, and money, lust, success, careers....it does not satisfy.  People want something more.  How badly do you want to know God?  All you have to do is get on your knees and pray, and crack upon the Bible to the book of John or Psalms.  I invite you, stop looking at the superficial things of Christianity that turn you off.

You don't believe in the Bible because some people think fornication is okay or don't think gays should be able to get married, or something like that...eternity is a long time to base your decision to choose God on something like that.  I'm just saying.
