Deneb,
In NO WAY would I attempt to "convert" you. This is a decision you totally need to make yourself. The Bible IS good literature and I do think you would get a lot out of reading it.
Just tell that person you do not want any more information from them and that you will not read it!

> Any attempts at converting me only turn me away from matters of faith. (not talking about you guys, you guys are great). I'm having a bit of a dilemma somewhere else. Someone is trying hard to send me info about God...really trying to make me believe. I'm not sure what to do. This person means well, but how do I let her know that I'm not ready? Do I just ignore her?
