I feel it’s not so much the spreading of the Word, it’s more HOW they do it. Live like Jesus wants us to (aka. Love your neighbour as yourself), and the people will want to follow, at least some. Lead by example, rather than beat them to death like a chimpanzee with a stick.
Have you ever considered that the faith has been misinterpreted in order to serve their temporal needs? Therefore, the way they are spreading it is wrong? Aka. all that colonizing crap and the ways of Empire?
It’s a book, a collection of stories written second and third hand by a bunch of guys who lived thousands of years ago, and then rewritten by the catholic church, and many others to suit their needs. You’re not going to convince me that it was misinterpreted. I dont even know why we are having this conversation honestly. You can keep your faith, thats fine. I dont want, nor do I feel the need to share it.
Excellent, I can be happy to have my faith, and you can be happy without having it. That’s totally fine. I just hope that you enjoy the rest of your night!

No, its the spreading of the word. I grew up christian, my partner grew up Catholic. You’re not telling me anything I dont already know.
