Christians vs People, Why argue? Options

[sweetangel2128]

I know, I know another religion topic.

I am actually going through this right as of now. I've had 3 Christian friends I had to drop because of how they treated me so I thought I'd bring this topic up.

Why do most Christians have to argue with you on your beliefs no matter if your Christian or non-Christian. I mean...I had a friend of mine well actually 3 of them drop my friendship because I didn't believe exactly what they believed when it came to being a Christian. I told one person that I believe there IS a possiblity of evolution and he freaked out on me BIG TIME and stopped talking to me, another person freaked out on me because I said everyone has there own interpretations of what the Bible means to them or what God lays on there hearts...while another person got mad because they felt that if I disrespect them I am disrespecting "THEIR" God.

It just makes me so mad...why can't people just respect eachother and realize that everyone has there own beliefs in things. And when it comes to Christianity, as long as the person loves God isn't that should be what counts rather if they have the same beliefs or not. I mean for instance, I love God, I believe in Jeus and all of that, I read my Bible but I don't attend church and I don't believe, cussing unless using God's name in vain is wrong, I don't believe sex before marriage is wrong, anytime there is an argument I use my own thoughts and opinions I don't open up a chapter in the Bible and say: "Because, the Bible says right here!".

I just don't understand why people get so mad just because your beliefs are different then theirs?????

Because beliefs are a touchy subject. Who are you to say, "what you believe in is not true". So it turns into this uproar over personal beliefs.

Like somebody said before, I don't think that this should be directed at Christians only. To an extent (stereotypically), that may be true, but what about atheists? When atheists find out that I'm Christian, a lot of them are quick to ridicule. They find it stupid that I believe in this higher being, one that I can't "prove". It's really disrespectful! I don't challenge their beliefs, or lack thereof, but they challenge mine? So most of the time, I'm just trying to defend my belief. Then they spin it off as "you're trying to make me become Christian... lalalala". Uhh, no! If you don't want to be a Christian, I can't force you and I won't. But seriously, if you're going to challenge my beliefs, then expect me to defend it. I'm not going to sit back and watch you poke fun at it.
