Reply #36: It must be hard for those who are non-fundy Christians. [View All]

They've turned your religion into something horrible--at least the way they practice it. How did my liberal Christian professors put up with me? They must have thought I was unreachable. Eventually, it sank in and I chose my own path (atheism).

But it took YEARS and since everyone is different, I'm not sure they can be reached. Besides, if we befriend them only on the condition that they change to our beliefs, are we any better than they are? For that matter, is it any better to only associate with other liberals? :shrug:

For my part, I have no desire to associate with fundies. I tried for years to bridge the gap and it didn't work. I choose not to associate with them. Of course, I also choose not to associate with people who drive racecars because I'm not interested in that "sport." However, I think I'm a lot more angry at fundies than I am at racecar drivers.
