text: why be a christian? i have morals and believe in a higher power- but a lot of religions seem to fit the bill. i have friends that are persuading me to become a christian... and they are quite aggressive about it...but i just don't know. any advice there is no reason to be if it doesn't feel right to you.  just tell them to back off and not pressure you.  if they are as good of christians as they think they are, they will.  if not they aren't really the friends they profess to be and distance yourself from them.
