I think you turned some of them off with your approach. You asked to be converted, rather than ask for their arguments for the existence of god. I can sympathize, because I hate it when theists present themselves with false motivations here.

Oh, I have no doubt that many Christians don't actually see the derogatory nature of statements like, "I will pray for you to see the light." It's part of what makes Christianity so damn frustrating and annoying.
