>>>My parents practiced Buddhism until I was 12 years old then they converted to Christianity. And it changed them in a profound way. Anyway, but I never quite converted myself. And I have numerous Christians friend who have invited me to many B. studies. Very genuinely nice folks.

>>If your religion wanted to expand, would you send not-so-nice guys to recruit new members? That's a no-no in PR, and surely not a good way to do business.

>I think you answered your own question. :)
It was rhetorical.
>But I've spent many hours and days with these people, and I have no problem with them. They're just regular people with regular jobs, you know accountants, finance, health and medical, policeman, fire man, computer programmers (or are we software engineers now) and yes even a carpenter. And sometimes they even say a bad word. I've play golf with them. Watch movies .... or whatever. It's just that Every Sunday they go to chruch and I usually don't.
But sometimes you do? So it works.
>I'm sorry you have such bad feel for Christians, but each to his own....
Familiarity breeds contempt. I feel bad about organized religion per se; Christianity asserts itself as the most frequent case at hand. And again, not "bad feel for Christians", but, repeat, about organized religion per se. They're all trying to expand forever and tend to tell people what to do and what not.
