[quote=Anonymous]A Christian friend of mine, whom I've known about five years, was telling me that her church has a seder, and that she finds it interesting. After getting the OK from my parents (the hosts), I invited her (and her husband) to our first-night Seder. Both were respectful during the service, as I would expect, even though I'm sure the Hebrew was boring to them. They thanked my parents profusely for a wonderful evening, and off we headed. (We drove together.)

Not five minutes into our trip, the husband asked me, "Do you want to go to Heaven?" I immediately felt uncomfortable, since I took it as a negative judgment of the Jewish religion/tradition he had just witnessed, and answered, "I'm don't think there is a Heaven, but if there is, of course I want to go." He then answered, "then how about coming to church with us  this Sunday." (His wife, my friend, said nothing.) I said, swallowing my anger, "I like my religion and want to keep it," and he said, "Well, we went to a service of yours." (The wife still said nothing, even though it was apparent I was uncomfortable.) He asked me three times to give it a chance, and I answered three times that I was not interested.

This is not the first instance I've had with the husband, btw. He is always telling me about predictions made in the Old Testament about Jesus, and one time the wife (my friend), quoted something about the only way to the Father is through the Son. I've asked them to stop, but this last experience has crossed the line. I just got off the phone with the wife (couldn't call yesterday because it was still holiday), and told her how uncomfortable I am when her husband keeps trying to get me to "accept Jesus." Her response? "Try not to be so sensitive about every little thing."

It's her response that has got me thinking I need to sever the friendship. Opinions?
