Do you argue with religious people?

[TheoneandonlytrueGod]

I refuse to argue.

In the past I have tried to argue the mythology in the bible I have struck out. I have found that people who quote the Bible have no tolerance toward those who see inconsistencies therein.

One experience I had while a member of a Church whose pastor with two kids was the occasion when the older daughter asked her father why I wasn't a Christian since I acted more like a Christian than most of the members of the Church. That really got me thinking and was, as I see it now, a further indication that religion was not the answer. (I realize I am not making myself entirely clear here so please forgive me).

At the Senior Center where I sometimes work at the reception desk I had occasion to have a conversation with a newly converted Christian who asked me my religious preference, when I said atheist she began, gently, to try to convert me. I, just as gently, let her know I didn't believe in God or any religion. She finally gave up and went away.

I've seen her since and she walks by me without acknowledging my presences. Oh,well, she has her beliefs and I mine.
