RE: Reason for converting Good Christians

Its not my mission to convert anyone. I think its better if they do happen to be converted though, and here's 2 main reasons I can think of:

1. The truth matters. Delusion is bad (at least overall! To say the least. Believing in Santa Claus isn't so bad. But its bad pretty much otherwise - in general - I think!)
2. Religious moderation helps provide the ground for fundamentalism to flourish. When the more reasonable religious moderates generally support the idea that religion should not be criticised, - like its a special case - this allows fundamentalism to happen more easily. Its easier to take books really literally and become fanatical - and a fundamentalist - when its considered taboo to criticise your religion.
