Hmmmm you're probably right...but it just fraustrates me seeing people take the wrong path and not being able to do anything.Maybe i should learn to be more patient
It's good that you want to save people's souls. However, you need to ultimately let people make their own decisions. I know what you believe seems to be the ultimate truth for you, but you have let people people come to the same conclusions as you on their own. You can't force it.

Many Christians want to ban gay marriage because it goes against the will of God. However, not everyone believes in God, so you can't force God's word on them. If you want them to worship God, you can tell them how they're wrong or how they need to change their life, but forcing them to live under God's standards will only result in more disdain towards Christianity and you'll only make people unhappy who don't accept your way of life.

Living a "godly" life because it's illegal to live any differently is not the same as living a "godly" life because you believe in God.

I'd rather TRY to forcefully drag someone into believing in God by forcefully feeding them the gospel of God while they are kicking and screaming than just say "oh well you'll believe some day" knowing that that might never happen.

*JUST SAYING*
I can understand your feelings in this.

However, remember that we are only the messengers. We are not here to convince. It is God that gives the increase. :)
