Now if one does not believe in Him then that is their right and it's highly doubtful that a believer is going to be able to change that persons mind, as it comes down to faith and not everyone puts their faith in God. I don't think anyone should force their beliefs, regardless of what they believe, whether they believe in God or not; by doing so is being very closeminded.
I think the best way to share what you believe is through your actions and by your example, not through preaching .. nobody wants to be preached to. Besides, Nobody is ever going to agree on religion .. it's just better to get along and accept everybody and to be openminded and loving to all people, as I believe we will be judged by our actions and by how we treat others .. regardless of who they are, just as I believe they will be judged for theirs.

The problem is this Nicole...we have a world full of CalgaryBornAgains who suggest their morality is the way. These types of people are the ones Elton John probably had in mind in his referenece to shutting down religion.
