where do we go from here?

I had an experience the other day that I now look back on as possibly  the most awkward moment of my life. Basically some “friends” of mine from my old school decided that I needed a faith intervention and when I declined to participate they decided that we no longer needed to hang out anymore. It was pretty tough to hear coming from people that I’ve known almost all of my life. The thing that gets me is that I know they’re good people. I have to believe that they have good intentions. But where did they get this world view of God? This view that because I was baptized differently from them, because I have beliefs that are different from theirs, that I am somehow incomplete. This view that gives them absolute truth that everyone can either join the party or burn. I have come to the conclusion that you can not debate, reason with, or even just politely talk with people like this. Because what we (I) believe is viewed by them as offensive. So where to do we go from here? I honestly don’t know anymore.
