Of course I agree with you - We've always agreed on almost everything - But I'm gonna' add a little bit: Sometimes, belief structures do get shattered in the course of enlightenment and sometimes when the pieces are put back together the belief becomes even stronger and we find that "our god" and "their god" are one and the same, It's just that we've been looking from different perspectives.
Having said that, and in response to Leo's original question: Nope. It is all about free will, arguably the best and worst gift from God. Nor could I force my will or belief system on another and demand that they "Accept my God or die!" My faith is strong, but I'd like to think that I'm wise to know that I don't know everything and each one has to take his/her own path to enlightenment and while my beilief system is right for me, it may not be right for someone else and vice versa.
We are all one. We are all connected, and we are all part of the One Energy Field, or the One Supreme Mind, or the One Consciousness, or the One Creative Source. Call it whatever you want, but we are all One.
Competition is an example of separation. First, when you have thoughts of competition, it is coming from a lack mentality, as you are saying there is a limited supply. You are saying there is not enough for everybody, so we have to compete and fight to get things. When you compete you can never win, even if you think you won. By the law of attraction, as you compete you will attract many people and circumstances to compete against You in every single aspect of you life, and in the end you will lose. We are all One, and so when you compete, you compete against You.

IMO there really is only one. He just came to earth in different forms, that of the people in that area, so he wouldn't freak the bejabbers out of them. So, I would probably just chuckle at the idea that they THOUGHT they were converting me.
It would be nice if you took it the way it's meant...=o)
I am only myself, and can be hard to take at times... I make no bones about it. love it, or not...
I reread it, and find nothing negative about it at all, really.
Refusing to bow and adore a God is my way, and choice. If ha means a bad thing to you, then look inside of you and ask why...
I realize when one comes out with a strong belief and way...it can be hard to take. Yet, think about why you choose to put me in a negative light in your mind, as opposed to who I am...
I make no excuses as to what I say, or do...If I am wrong, I do say so... Here? No, I am not wrong.
i'd never change my beliefs or my god for any reason, when i die , its because i'm supposed to for whatever reason it is, my beliefs are a part of me,. to change them would change who i am and i would hope that the person above me liked me for me and not for my belief in my god
