"Kinda like saying "Merry Christmas" to someone opposed to it? Or who doesn't believe?"

Nope, kinda like "YOU are going to be a good Baptist Christian boy because I am, and I'm a minister, the head of this household, and you WILL do what I SAY!" I was supposed to have a conversion experience on command. I also learned to use a .45 automatic at the age of 12 because he wasn't going to beat my mother one more time. Like I said, not everyone is a GOOD example of the religion they claim to belong to.

as for list of priorities, I've got homework I should be doing, and finals next week, so I'll let you get to what you need to do. Have a good one. Merry Christmas, too.

I'm sorry for what happened to you at the hands of an abuser, but I fail to see what all this has to do with what I said. And I still believe that trying to proselytize by giving a holiday greeting is more akin to what happened to you than a passive attempt to spread the gospel.
