Witness
That's why we Christians are to witness. We cannot make others believe, but we can tell others what Christ has done in our lives, and let them see by the way that we live that He has made a difference in our lives. We must spread the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Of course, "they just don't get it"! That's why there are so many sects - each giving an interpretation of some simple concepts. That's why there are priests and rabbis and ministers and pastors. They're the ones who tell the faithful (their followers) why they should be the only ones to get to Heaven, and anybody who disagrees has to go the the other place. It's human nature to want to be part of the "winning" side,and heaven is the reward for the "winners".
Maybe that's why I like some of the Sufi stories (lessons).They show that everyone has to win, or else everybody loses. That's why, despite being for God, I can't find it in me to participate in any organized religion.

My solution is
to just Love one another as Jesus gave commandment and not worry about what other people believe and how they live their life.
Simple and powerful. Pure and easy. It works.

oh, what the hell! Show me a place that God isn't found... God is in limbo, God is in Hell... with all these people pushing to get into Heaven where is God going to live... most of them don't seem to care to want to go there to see Him - only to save themselves from the fiery pit...
