Luke 6:41-42

[Jason]

Still I don't think that constant criticism of Christianity is a good way. (one reason of cause is that I am a Christian and I don't like to be criticised. The other reason is the big chain that ties you up with the object of your criticism in a negative way.)

I don't see us constantly criticizing Christianity, I see it as defending Judaism.

Do Jews who are "in danger" of changing their religion respond well to the (from my perspective) attacks on Christianity? It reminds me when I started smoking as a teenager, my father was very much against it. Did I stop? No, I was angry and continued smoking.

As Jason said, it is not a personal attack. 

What your read is the second edition of my post. The original was like that: Your history gives you every right to reject Christianity. - That's true. I can't measure the consequences of all the unjustices (a weak word) you experienced from so called Christians. We deserve criticism. But it hurts anyway. 

If Christians never tried to convert us or tell us what our bible says, then we wouldn't really have much to say about Christianity.

Maybe "message" is a better word (no one can convert a person). We are called to preach the Gospel. That's not an option but a command. Sometimes we forget another command that sais: "If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home." In other words: Leave that person alone!

Just like we don't really say anything about Hinduism or other religions.

You see, from my experience, most Christians I have interacted with don't ask questions to actually learn. They seem to want to hear our answers and then ask us other questions that relate to Christian theology.

Your are right. I know of this strategy. What it actually is, is insincerity and manipulation. 

If I were to ask a Christian a question or a person that believes in any other religion, I wouldn't tell them, well that's not what my bible teaches and that's not the truth of G-d's word.

We see the hebrew bible and the gospel as one book, our book. We are not aware of the anger Jews have if we tell them about their bible and what we think it sais. Netanyahu said in a speech to US evangelicals: "Jews are the older brothers of Christians" I think he doesn't really believe it but many Christians see Jews indeed as their older brothers and sisters. We are disturbed when we learn that Jews have a slightly different point of view.

I would try to understand why people believe what they believe and leave it at that.

I have not experienced your reaction yet.

I know the Christian bible says to go out and proselytize, to convert others. But we see what that leads to most of the time.

That's not right. Yes, tell the message and then LEAVE IT AT THAT. We are not called to harass others.

I will say Christianity and other beliefs do have some very positive teachings that help people with their lives, but let that be an individual choice without coercion.

Well said   !
