I'd rather love them and not judge them, but they make it difficult.
I agree. I constantly debate with my Christian family and close friends, and it's a common topic.
It's just built-in to the religion to spread it and be vocal about it, and that eventually interjects with everyday society (which I don't think real spirituality is meant to do.)
Trying to reconcile spiritual beliefs with a day-to-day, cultural life is a super bitch. The morality issue is all wrapped up in there as well. Usually I end up telling my family that they like Christianity because they are good people regardless, and it helps them to express that in whatever way.
That usually gets their head kind of spinning, lol, when I constantly rant to them about how
they're good and decent and moral, and just choose a religion to justify it or give it some higher authority.
