Ah, "agree to disagree" - the final attempt at saving face by a retreating loser.
People don't "agree to disagree" on matters of fact - only on matters of opinion. Your use of that phrase shows that you have no rational arguments to offer on the matter and cannot refute mine. So you attempt close the discussion by creating the illusion of equal footing and corresponding compromise.
Well, I don't agree to to disagree. I simply disagree. If you have any better arguments than you being a Christian, then present them. But don;t pretend that there is some sort of consensus between us - that by naming my "agreement" to disagree in advance, I've provided some sort of sanction towards your beliefs. Either put up or shut up.
