Why do you think people convert to any given particular?

Because that specific religion gives them something other religions can't offer. Be it a sense of community (where a specific religion is adopted by the majority), or a particular promise that helps you cope with the difficult of life, there's often a strong rational (yes, I said it!) element behind this kind of choice.

I have to agree with Lira, there is no reason any person would convert to or from anything unless they believed they would glean benefits from the conversion.

So then Job only had faith in God because he felt that he could get something outta Him?

That was about conversion, not about faith once you're converted. In that case, Job didn't give up on his faith because he felt that if God had given him all he had, God also had the right to take it all from him. When people told him he was a crazy nutter for believing in a God that was making him miserable, he had a strong argument to justify his faith.

(As I recall it)
