This is the only sentence I disagree with you about. I do not expect any theist to agree with. It's great when it happens, but I don't expect it. Especially from someone like you Rayaan. You are not offensive to me. Like me, you are not trying to sell what you believe. You answer when asked. You tell people what it is you happen to believe ... just like me. That is all I ever want from anyone. I can't speak for anyone else here, but I have no problem with several of the christians I know. They respect others and keep their religion to themselves. In turn I NEVER bust their balls about it. Ever. Unfortunately, you are part of the minority. Most Christians will openly admit that they have an "obligation" to get me to see the "sweet love of jesus." More often than not, they end up condemning me to hell rather than showing me anything remotely resembling "love".
