How can you be okay with anyone not sharing your beliefs ? How can you have someone you love not believing in God and not do every single thing you can to convert them ?
Ultimately faith is a choice that we must all make. Belief is a personal thing, and though I may do everything in my power to help loved ones see what I see, in the end it is their choice to make and not mine. I must accept that I can do no more than support and love them as they make their choices in life, whether they be good or bad ones.
I can't make myself believe, and nobody else can. And yet we are told we are made the way we are by god, who then says the way he made us means we have to burn forever in hell.....yup, makes sense.
