Here is the entirety of the post.

I'm sorry, I should have clarified my statement. There is a fine line between intelligent discussion and aggressive conversion. Intelligent discussion is fine, but what I was referring to in my post was more of a "You're wrong, I'm right, believe me or else" type of conversation. I guess you missed the part where I said attempting to force your beliefs on another person is a violation of their civil rights. Again, there is a difference between intelligent discussion and aggressive conversion.

But by all means, continued to be a condescenting twat and take what I say out of context.

Initially, there was nothing wrong with the post, but s/he went back and added the last sentence. The rest of what s/he said before and after was actually fairly respectful so I'm not really sure what inspired the flame.

Not sure what inspired it? Seemed obvious to me, once you included the passage he quoted.

And I'll include my reply here as well. In context, he quite literally said that he believed that freedom of religion is violated if someone professes their faith too strongly? He quite literally said that one can be forced to accept the beliefs of others through discussion. I simply stated that he should have more faith in the ability of others to make their own decisions. Anyway, you're free to read and comment on my reply to you below.

Both of you, knock off the passive-agressive flaming.

Pardon? Did you just compare my comment on his demonstrated lack of faith in people to calling me a twat? He directly suggested that telling someone they're wrong can force them to believe something. Perhaps I haven't read the rules where it says when someone demonstrates a belief in something be certain not to put that belief in words. I'm annoyed and offended by the suggestion.
