I find that it is ok for someone to express their opinion about their belief system, religious understanding and political affiliation, but when someone is preaching to me and saying that I'm going to go to hell if I don't do this or if I do that.... then I always have to say that we'll just have to see what my lord and savior has to say about that. I have walked off from someone saying that I was going to hell for not being able to speak in tongues. OK.. I speak WITH my tongue and well, I just find that stuff wierd. And that's just my opinion. Good luck with that.
