Do you really have to ask this question? It's a part of the Christian faith to spread the Gospel. There is no such command in Judaism. That's it.

If you aren't interested, just say that and move on. It's not that complicated.

My Christian views are only very moderate like yours, and have spoken to enough atheists to know not to try any conversion attempts.
As much as I hate to say it, certain Christian groups that do proselytize - like door knocking, or accosting you at colleges or universities - the best way to get rid of them is by saying you are a non-believer.
In a way you feel like you are renouncing your faith, but it is the only thing that makes them give up on you straight away.
Unfortunately a high proportion of Christian groups that do actively approach you are not mainstream.

It doesn't matter what's true. It matters what people believe is true. This is why there is religion.

Religion forms paradigms that shape our worldview.

Therefore, I believe my stance and Jesus's account of their past. They were very eager like the Christians todays, but shranked away in an rebuke 2000 years ago.

As for the child marriage thing, I said what I said. The part of the world was not the modern Western Civilzation. It was an world of ugly old fart perverts playing GODs.
Your English is just fine. Though you've used a number of colloquial terms that are most commonly used by Americans with region-based dialects and thus not commonly used by non-native speakers.

"Old fart" being one of them.....

Exactly...
