We've come to assume that peer pressure is a negative thing. It's just so wonderful that it can be positive too.

Susan, I'm a Christian, too, and I know exactly what you're saying.
I have a family member who is constantly trying to convert people (and tell them what terrible sinners they are
), but I much prefer to lead by example.
Besides, I respect people for their own religious beliefs. If someone is a Buddist, then good for them!
Gee... are we off-topic or what, Susan?!
