Yeah. I think ig is right, they're taking it personally. Considering God is just the self, it's not surprising that religious people so often take it personally.
Fair enough, they may think there is hope you will return. But do they think the best way to try and achieve that is to be mean to you, or cut you off? How does that help?
I think in that case, they're more worried about their own accountability through association with you.
As for arguments and evidence, I personally don't care if "Christianity is true". I'm still not interested. Don't give a monkeys. I'm quite happy thinking for myself, and I'm not bowing to anyone, let alone an evil tyrant. So to me, it would be interesting to learn it's true, but nothing more. I'd be rather disheartened to learn what kind of maniac is in charge, but since whatever he is doing seems to have no effect whatsoever, I'm probably fine continuing to ignore it.
