Well, I can already tell you why some Christians go on an offensive when they are strongly confronted by a strong willed person who is not of the Christian faith. I am speaking from experience, because I have done the same thing, regretfully because I always end up sticking my foot in my mouth and only worsening the situation. We panic, and use things that we shouldn't while desperately trying to search for information that maybe, just maybe convince that one "infidel" of something that they believe. When we should all just come to this one basic statement, "Hey, I have faith in God and that He did send His Son to die for our sins, if you're willing to listen, I'm willing to tell, if not, I won't cram it down your throat, and we can just differ on our views, and maybe have a healthy civilized debate where we can learn from each other." In a perfect world this would be every Christian's credo, but human's aren't perfect and we make mistakes and end up hurting relationships or our credibility by saying something stupid. This has been something that I try to stick to, but like I said, I do stick my foot in my mouth. Well that's my two cents worth on that.
