It's frustrating because I know the questions are not coming from a place of actually wanting to know. These people have zero interest in learning and trying to expand their awareness.

The questions are designed to get me to admit that there are things I either can't answer, or that I simply have no answer for. That way, they can point to me and say, 'Haha look she doesn't know what she is talking about so she is a fake, a poser etc' and so on. The gotcha game makes them feel more secure.

You see, as a non Christian, I'm held to a completely different standard. You argue with a Christian and it almost always ends up with answers like, 'Well God's ways are not our ways', or 'we can't see the bigger picture', or 'God's ways are mysterious so you just have to take it on faith.'

The Christian can get away with that. People like me are never afforded that luxury. We have to have every answer in the bag ready to go.

It's almost as though, to these people, being a non christian obligates me to explain every reason why I am not. And every answer I don't get right just validates what they already believe.

But the truth is, no answer will ever be sufficient

Too cowardly to speak their real opinion and be themselves openly.
