Why would it deteriorate into an argument? I think both of us have been speaking in a calm and measured tone. Did you feel like i was being aggressive towards you?

Why don't you want me to understand how you feel? Isn't that what every human being wants? I want to understand. you say in one breath that religious people are not all extremists, but then when i agreed and said most epople arn't extremists because they arn't that religious, you got offended.

No, I didn't think you were being at all aggressive. I just don't think there's any more to say. We can agree to differ.

What are we differing about though? You don't think you could be just as comfortable being christian or muslim, that's what you said, and i found that statement fascinating.
