Do I expect my friends to not turn away from me? Sure. Besides, its you trivializing what Protestants say. A personal relationship does not indicate demeaning or disrespecting the person you have that relationship with. Do you treat your wife with respect or disdain? Trying to imply that by saying we have a personal relationship we somehow demean that relationship may well reflect on your view of the term personal relationship.

The argument that I have is with the Buddy Christ idea that somehow Jesus is a dude that we swap beers in our garages. If you wish to hop into the conversation, that is fine, but please understand the context. Jesus is Lord God Almighty, not Joe from next door who barbeques chicken and burgers every weekend and is half in the bag by the time they're done.
