[QUOTE="Samxoxo, post: 1529445, member: 597495"] how can I tell her nicely to stop? I am a Christian. My friend is thoroughly upset because most Christians seem to be homophobic, "ridiculous", etc.... Well, frankly, not every person is the same, and regardless of the fact that I am Christian AND I believe gays deserve the right to marry and abortion should be legal, she still loves to whine to me for hours upon hours about how ridiculous Christianity is. She is 100% entitled to her opinion, and I do not say anything to her as I hate arguing/fighting, but she just gets - for lack of better words - annoying. She has ranted to me many times over about the homophobic part especially, and I cannot say any more times how much I agree with her... but she doesn't stop!!! How can I get her to stop, politely, and without argument??? She knows I am Christian. She knows that I agree with her when I do, but if I don't agree with her I don't say anything as she is the type that tends to get ridiculous, mean, nasty, rude and immature (i.e. You're stupid, you don't know what you're talking about, *random swearing*, you completely piss me off, etc.)... to Lizard of Ahaz Restored - I have never ONCE tried to convert her. NEVER. I have not had the desire to. She is clearly passionate about her opinions, and I respect this. So going to pro-gay marriage rallies, voting in favor of said beliefs, etc., isn't proactive enough for you? Just 'lip service'? I apologize. I guess I'm just not as good of a person as you.
