"I'll be sure to remind you of the times I tried to lead you to eternal life when you're burning in Hell!" would be a snide remark

which then of course allows me the right to bash their faith and how I highly doubt that if jesus was real, she wouldn't be appreciative of their actions. It usually turns ugly at that point.

I don't think
she exists
Remember what I said earlier about there being a different between advocating your faith and trying to instigate a negative response from someone of a different religious group? Probably not, but I just thought I'd reference it. Anyway, I'd kindly like to point out that Christians were (Are) commanded by Jesus to go out and bear witness to God's name on numerous occasions. In fact, one of the centralized premises behind any belief system (Religious, social or political) is that those who believe in it should disperse throughout the world and get others to believe in it as well.The "I-highly-doubt-that-Jesus-would-want-you-to-do-that!" argument is, therefore, hogwash.
