You'd do well to learn from that; it's much easier for two people to have a calm, rational religious discussion when they don't feel like the other person is constantly thinking about what a poor, sad, non-believer soul they are and trying to convince them of "The Way".
O.K. this is where we must be going wrong then.

I Am Okay With Other People Not Believing What I Do. I live with them everyday and seem to manage pretty good. However we are talking about something that I do hold in my heart and would love to share with people I care about because it does have a purpose. I'm not trying to sell you anything. Hell I'm trying to give you what I have. Why is this a bad thing? I'm not trying to change the way you think if anything I'm trying to get the way you think to think bigger.

I say its a way of living! If you live with good morals; what holds you back. It seems to me that you just want to get by and let others make the rules based on what people want? Eve wanted the forbidin fruit and look where that landed us. By letting others change things that in the end will have a bad repercutions.

You can think what ever you want, but if your opion is that God doesnt exist then of course I can't just say ok I feel the same way? and I'm fine with that? I don't feel that way and I guess when you have faith you want to share it............. I'm sorry. God Bless
