They think they are right and you are wrong, wrong,wrong! Some where judgmental is running around in my mind. There are three things that are best not to be discussed in social situations.
Sex, Religion and Politics....these are not my idea just what I was told a long time ago.

Most Christians and Muslims are peaceful and law abiding citizens.
There are a lot of people who are open minded from all walks of life. It just depends on the person really. I would just tell the person you are talking to that you don't believe that he/she is listening earnestly to your point of view and explain to them that you would appreciate if they would truly try to understand your point of view.
Sometimes we just get so wrapped up in our side of the discussion or what we are going to say in response, that we forget to listen. Some people like me are a little A.D.D., if you know what I mean?
I think that most people will listen to what you have to say if you express the importance of it, otherwise let them know that you won't talk about it to them if they aren't going to (at least try to see your viewpoint?) Hope this helps.

It's like teaching someone a concept on an initial or preliminary level, and then working it on a "why" and "how" level in order for them to get a handle on it.
No, we are not wrong about the thumper. He really needs to go find himself a Christian forum.
It's strange the difference between what is being said and what we actually hear or interpret.
