The same holds true for Christianity; "if you can't preach to and convert your family and friends, who can you preach to and convert?"

Many people are Christians because they fear death. The Christian promise is the defeat of death, so it is based on fear. The reason it is such a cheap ploy to me is because they prey when and where people are most vulnerable. Today we have such a better understanding of emotions and fear that religion is losing it's grip, but they keep trying..
You dont know that RJ. You assume that based on your experience of other so called christians, you may very well be projecting your own feelings based on that experince, you arent that close to be able to read the situation, you could be thousands of miles away and you dont know the personalities involved either.

She may very well be motivated out of pure love for her inlaws. She wants to share something that has been so good to her.

Nothing wrong with lovingly and careingly sharing an opinion even if its a relgious one.
