"It's the difference between someone who cares enough about you who will tell you to stop doing a particular thing which will hurt you, and someone who doesn't particulary care about you who will tell you to do anything you feel like." Trib, I understand your beliefs and applaud you for them. But let explain to you why certain types of christians annoy me. I have (or should say had) a friend that I had known since grade school, when we were growing up and into our mid twenties, he was would most people would call a "wild child." Doing the types of things that arent illegal, but most christians would frown upon. When he was 28, he met a wonderful woman who is now his wife, she was a christian and he converted to that lifestyle. We as couples remained close, his wife and my wife were best friends, the families did everything together. Then he started preaching to me about "saving" me, then he started telling me how to raise my kids, what I should or should not be watching on TV, listening to on the radio etc etc etc...So much so, that we pretty much do not speak anymore. What irks me is in my life I have not done 1/8 of what he has done, that christians consider wrong, but he has the cojones to preach to me about how I live my life. When he lived a "sex, drugs and rock and roll" lifestyle for all those years I was the "goody "goody", but because I dont subscribe to his version of christianity, now Im a bad person.
