You are entitled to your opinions and your method of worship.

Where you see virtue in Mary’s post...

I find it condesending and offensive.

First Amendment includes freedom of religion as well.

Trying to convert someone is rarely accomplished by starting out with insults.

And so too are you entitled. However, there was nothing condesending and offensive in Mary’s post and nothing that would deny one’s freedom of religion. Coversion is a CHOICE and I say again, there was nothing Mary’s post to indicate that there was anything else. There is nothing in Mary’s belief system (at least that I’ve seen) which mandates she forcefully makes you join her faith. If that were the case, then you’d have grounds to gripe. However that isn’t the case, so you seem to have some other theological axe to grind. In the same manner, one could consider that you are guilty of the same offense you are charging Mary (and probably myself) with, trying to force acceptance of your view. Doesn’t work that way here :)
