Just a thought...

As I was doing the dishes (isn't it funny how your mind wanders as you wash dishes?) I was thinking how so many people say that Christians want to "force our beliefs" onto them and I always think in my head, "I don't want you to have my beliefs - they are MINE!" I never once think that when I'm talking to someone of a different belief that they are forcing their opinions onto me so what is the difference? I read something that someone had written yesterday and she said that while she didn't agree with certain things that people believed that she would never be sad or judge them for what they believed because it would negate their beliefs. Wouldn't it be so refreshing if everyone felt that way?
