Bothered by Christian discussion?
Has anyone else had the experience where they meet with an old friend and they take the discussion toward Christian ideals/beliefs and it really gets to you? Maybe it was because I hadn’t seen this person in a long time (since I started deconstructing) but we were talking about normal, every day things - but it always ended up in some kind of Christian thing. Like “Oh well God has a plan,” or somehow just putting a Christian spin on everything. It made for a very strange conversation. However, this person was not aware of my deconstruction. I’m also wondering why it bothered me so much.
I started to wonder if I had been like that too? Like everything in my life was revolving around Christianity? Is there a way to deflect or move the conversation away from this without being a jerk - especially if every single thing apparently leads back to Jesus for them?
