I had a 3 hour conversation with someone today who considers herself to be a pagan. As usual, she had all of the half-formed/preconceived notions of what a true Christian is. She kept it respectful (as did I) but in the end she flat out rejected the notions of: We are all sinners and Christ was more than a historical figure. She even said the God "notion" of my Judeo-Christian values is an inherently flawed concept.

Several times she tried to turn the conversation into, "everyone thinks their religion is the right way, what makes yours any different?". An oldie but a goodie to those who refuse to believe.

In the end, all I could say was that I respected her opinions and that I was not forcing my beliefs on her. She is free to make her own decision. She said her heart simply does not get why my Christian "cult" (her words) insists that they are the only way to "our form of salvation".

Sometimes, I wonder why I even try to get through to people like this. I can't even stand on the words of scripture because they reject the very notion of the scripture I quote to them.

To them, I am nothing but a religious nut.
