Yes, yes, that's all well and good.
Ugh, I'm sorry. I'm just tired of people who talk like you just typed. They come up to you, and starting talking in this way that seems to basically say, "Convert, or I'll kill you."
Hammy, I see how you have a devout belief in God, but you can't really technically say He is the only way. There's other religons out there, and all of them have about the same proof to their validity as your does:
A book.
I'm not trying to spark a religious debate here, (Okay, yes, I am) but I see the common Christian view that theirs is the only way is a bit ignorant, since there's plenty of religions with basically the same idea, just different names for the Big Guy.
I apologize if this has offended you, for you seem to be a decent person who is smart enough to type out an opinion, unlike some people here.
But I have no view toward any religion, except for maybe the occasional 'Allah Akbar' for jokes and such.
Thus, like Bullet in another topic, I am apathy incarnate when it comes to religion.

True followers of Christ never say, "Convert or I'll kill you". That's not the way to lead someone to God. You have a choice to make...YOU. You can choose to be happy or sad, go to Heaven or Hell. It's either one or the other. Life (God) or Death (Satan). The choice is YOURS to make.
Christianity is a lot different from other religions. First of all, God hates religion. He only wants a true, sincere relationship with Him. Secondly, His word has a meaningful verse for every heartache, desire, and really any and every occasion. There is no other book on earth like it, nor will there ever be. If you would just take the time to read it, you'd see what I mean. Sure, it's hard to understand sometimes, but we can never fully understand Him. We ARE meant to draw closer to Him though. He loves us and is always ready to forgive, no matter what we've done.
I've done some pretty horrible things in this life, but God forgave me and changed me, most of all, He saved me. I haven't been the same since. He is so unexplainably wonderful and moving.... He's just too much... too beautiful to describe!!! Tears are coming to my eyes right now, telling you this. Trust me, He's like none other. He wants to change you and save you, just like He did me. Isn't that great?! He sent His only Son to die for us, so that we could live forever in Heaven with Him. I want you to go to Heaven too. I love you, even though I've never met you. I know you have a soul. I just want what's best for you, and God is definitely the BEST!
Please don't take any of this as an offense; I am only trying to help you. I'm not saying you have to accept Christ, that's your decision. I just had to tell you this. And, if you ever get to seriously thinking about what I've said, just talk to me about it. I'll be glad to listen and I'll try my hardest to explain any questions you may have.
