You put yourself in a Catch-22 when you sign on to believing the Bible in the first place. The book is outdated, so you're forced to either cherry-pick (hypocrisy) or take it 100% seriously (crazy fundamentalist). And then there are contradictions, where it's logically impossible to follow both sets of advice. And you don't read minds: I'm fine with proselytizing of all kinds. In the Christian's case, you're a hypocrite if you're not proselytizing your beliefs. I think what people mean when they say "don't force your opinions on to me" is "I don't want to think about that, let's stop talking about it".
