I think you would be wrong. Watch for yourself.

And they won't listen to you, when you try to tell them things. They refuse to listen. At least, that's how it always goes in my experiences. No matter how even-tempered and open-to-discussion this Christian might be, they always end up storming out on our conversation or saying the stupidest things and trying to change the subject before I can rebut. So yes, it gets just a little bit tiring, I would say.

BUT it is a huge pain in the arse when some holier than thou dickwad wants to force his usually fundamentailst and mental world view on you.
So would it make a difference to you if the person acted more like the person Penn was talking about?
