 hey power,  good to see u again - 
  
 Without starting something off......I understand your thoughts.  But let me 
 give you this to think about. 
  
 Lets ay two faiths share similar ideas, some say worship the same God, come 
 from a same point of ancestory....okay? Now, one of those faiths that are 
 using the history of the older faith has changed some of the things to come 
 up with something completely different. 
  
 So, now, people who want to make sure the original God is present properly 
 to people, and to make sure the difference is know, preach that.  It's up to 
 the person to believe the differences etc... 
  
 Personally Powerhouse, when I preach to a different faith, take Islam for 
 example, it's what we are talking about here, I start right away by 
 mentioning two things    1- YOU MUST LISTEN TO YOUR GOVERNMENT - our faith 
 even says so--  as many think westerners are there to overthrow their 
 government by faith and lies. 2- We, as Children of God through Jesus the 
 Christ, DO NOT CLAIM that allah had a son, that he slept with Mary 
 etc....and remember even Mohammed said Christians and Jews are part of the 
 Umma or believer family. 
  
 I say this to start off on their field, set at easy political people and 
 religious alike. And any "faith" issues beyond pointing out false beliefs 
 about Christians and even parts of their own book they follow not according 
 to the original writing, anything else is up to them. 
  
 See?  More about correction, not about conversion. 
  
 Hope that helps some?
