[quote=Anonymous]Before a few years ago, I would have had a very different answer.   I have close personal experience with this situation, and I will never again be so naive as to what harm can come from some sects of christianity

I had no idea that being "friends" with a fundamentalist/evangelical, whose beliefs "I" respected just fine, would not be respecting mine.  Ever.  They just can't.   There are now long term consequences in my family due to their intrusion of their beliefs into my children when they would be hanging out at her house.    When they were at my house,  there was no mention of religion, but come to find out years later, they had "saved" 2 of my children with fear of hell.    One of my children cannot be talked out of the fact that she was told she has a "special" place in hell waiting for her since she was so strong willed...which according to them is one of the worst things you can be because you aren't obeying their lord or something .

I could go on, but I won't bore you.  But know that it isn't as simple as respecting others' beliefs sometimes.  Some people have zero desire to do that and I would never again associate with anyone that even resembled this belief system.   I am still shocked at some of the things I've learned about them that they kept quite hidden for a long time.
