Answer 1

Truth can be found in all belief systems. Have you ever noticed how Mystics of all Religions seem to rise above differences in terminology to  find no differences & speak the same language? The focus for myself has always been discerning Truth no matter what the source. In the end all seek the same Truth, so what is there to convert? We are like children here with a child's understanding of what Truth is, each thinking their way is the only right way for all. We viciously defend our corner of perceived Truth by attacking all others. A child may have a child's understanding of where babies come from. He may even fight with another child who believes differently. Yet, in the end both children will grow to understand the Truth of how babies arrive in this world. So is it with us with Spiritual knowledge & understanding. We are children in this process all fighting with each other over which is the "right way".

I can only Be on my chosen path, as can all others. Hopefully it will lead me to Truth & Wisdom. I wish the same for all.

Blessings!

Answer 2

I couldn't possibly improve on the wonderful reply that Phae has provided.

So I will only add this thought: No one can really convert anyone else to a faith. If there is a conversion it's because the person willingly converted themselves. All we can do is provide positive examples as to why our faith is worth examining. A seeker will see the good and want to learn more. Or not. It is their choice, not ours.
