I'm still wondering how the Christians 'force' their beliefs on you
folks.

I never said they did, at least not since I was a child and that
didn't
take very well. It never made sense. I have a vivid memory as a
young
child of a Sunday school teacher describing Noah's Arc and the flood
and
how in heaven the lion will lie with the lamb, etc. I remember
looking
around at the other kids and thinking wow, they believe these
stories, I
better just be quiet.

They do routinely come to my front door ignoring the no soliciting
sign
and try to convince me that I need to dedicate my life to Jesus to
avoid
an eternity of suffering, join their church, and donate to their
cause.
Perhaps they mean well but I think they're full of **** and
annoying.
I've never had a Muslim, Jew, or atheist solicit like that.

Maybe if I stop being polite to them they'd leave me alone.

My sister's daughter went on a weekend trip with a Baptist church
group.
When they got her away from home, where she was a vulnerable 10 year
old, they tried to brainwash her into being "born again". She's smart
and takes such things seriously, she wouldn't do it, saying that she
had
to talk to her mom and dad about it. That scared her and she's not
stepped foot in a church since.

If your sister was more than a dunce, she would not have allowed your
niece to go with a church
group. What the hell did she expect?

And "brainwashing", really? That's pretty hysterical, but of course it's
what we expect with a made up story

What do you think happens when the religious crazies get their hands on
possible acolytes? The pressure they exert when they have people in
their clutches is enormous. Your problem, aside from your pigheadedness
and general ignorance, is that you think (ha!) that experiences you
haven't had couldn't have possibly happened to others.

When does your daughter leave for military boot camp?

How do you know this?
