see Rosie, they are decent folk.

Rosie, just keep in mind there are many interpretations of what is in the Bible. God and God alone knows whether someone is a real Christian or not.

Rosie,

You don't see how you were pointing fingers when you told them they need to look in the mirror (or something like that) first? Or when you said you feel sorry for them because they don't believe?

Yes, Rosie. Focus on your Christianity and not that of others. I just try to tell them what I believe and why. It is up to them whether they accept it or not and I, nor you, can condemn them for their decision.

Rosie,

I understand your feelings. But, try to think of how they may feel with you telling them you feel sorry for them. Put yourself in their shoes, how would you feel?

It's always between each individual and God in the end.

Only if you let them - people don't hurt us, we allow ourselves to be hurt. Bear in mind what's going on here - on this forum on the internet - is nothing more than electrons and pixels ... a more insubstantial construct hardly may be imagined. Allowing oneself to get all worked up over it is just plain silly. Doesn't stop folks from traveling that path, or even reduce that path's appeal to some folks. Thats just the way it is.
