Is being confident in your faith the same as forcing it on others? I find that being confident in your faith and sharing it is no different than, say, a product testimonial or talking about a life changing event to someone else.

Ex-smokers can be this way. Often times they are so proud of themselves, so happy about the change they've made, that they want to tell everyone and can become antismoking zealots.

Maybe it's a matter of personal likes and dislikes. I am an ex-smoker, and I do not go around telling anyone they should quit. If they want to know how I did it and they ask me, I will gladly tell them, but I don't force my views on them without being invited.
