    The only reason to convert is the conviction that one is true. In fact, if that isn't the case then you haven't converted at all regardless of what outward expressions of religion you exhibit.

    All that is the crux of everything,
    I'm a Christian, however if i became convinces another religion was the true one i would convert to it. There is no way for me to predict which one that could be.
    You don't just pick one cause it sounds cool.

    Perhaps it would be necessary to understand the reason for the need to convert? I know folks who have for marriages, I know folks who have for personal reasons, and I know folks who have because the nations or regions they lived in forced them to convert. So, does you question take these into account?

    No. It doesn't. My question is simple. If you had to choose one to convert to, which one would it be?

    Ok, put a gun to my head and force me to "convert"
    I'd say no and get shot.

    Without context, your question is irrelevant. Make a choice. Tell us why anyone would want to convert or be required to convert.

    None of the above since I truly do not care about religion other than to fight it being shoved down my throat. It all seems just so silly.

    You question is deceptive and promotes a falsehood as you limit religions and demand an answer that will please you. Sounds like religious bigotry to me.

    Christianity. Their prophet is alive. The others are dead, although Christianity isn't really about religion. It's about relationship with God. There is only one God that forgives sin and paid the price.

    Doesn't count if you're already one. How would you convert?

    How do I demand any answer? It's just a poll... And how do I 'limit religions' exactly?

    If you don't want to answer or the question upsets you (for a reason I can't imagine...) just get out and move on.

    Sounds like Buddhism or bahaism might be closest to you then. Just my two cents. But the question was "if you had to".

    I don't know, don't care. It's a hypothetical question.

    Believe in my heart that Jesus rose from the dead.

    You're ignoring the topic. But of course you are. What else would you do?

    I know. In fact if I told you not to jump into a well, I'm pretty sure you would jump. You're so secure in your faith.

    Yes i understand your position. However in our future is the day where everyone on the planet will be asked to convert to a one world religion, thoes who do will receive a mark to show their loyalty, a mark that seals their fate eternally.
    I if i am still alive will refuse to take the mark and i will be brutally murdered for it..
    What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
