Damn! I was all ready to give you the benefit my insight but I'll respect your wish to let this thread die.

(Sigh! Another pearl of precious wisdom lost to mankind. Sad )

You can give your insight if you want..it just seemed when I read it again like trolling. I can't really attribute my friends reaction to all christians.

It just really surprised me because he is not hardcore but seemed to be angry at my lack of belief.

Okay here goes (prepare to be dazzled! Cool ).

I think the key lies in the part I've emboldened above. If the bloke was really secure in his own beliefs I don't think he would have reacted as he did. As you pointed out not all christians tend to react that way. So I think you must have hit a nerve. Deep inside he's probably having strong doubts even though he doesn't want to acknowledge them.


Who knows you might even have done him a favour. As much as he tried to block it out some part of him might have actually listened to what you said. Either way...well done for sticking up for your beliefs.
