Cause you gotta have faith

While I was at home a couple of weeks back.. I was cornered by my sister's roommate into a discussion regarding religion and faith... and though her roommate is a very nice person... she is very strong in her convictions and attempts to push them on others.
I really dont like discussing religion and faith with people because I feel the fact that I am a PK (pastor's kid) is a lot of the time held against me.. what I mean is that since my father is so strong in his beliefs... they automotically feel that I should follow suit... and well this is not always the case.
Anyways.. the roommate began asking what I believed and somehow... it came up that I believed that the Bible was a parable (a life lesson) and that I believed in certain aspects of each religion. I believe in the Judaic view that Jesus is a prophet... I believe in the Buddhist ying and yang and Karma... I believe certain Muslim teachings... and I believe in the theory of evolution.
To this the roommate stated that my faith was wishy washy and that I could not just pick and choose the good parts of religion... WHY NOT?!?... Many Christians do so.. they choose to eliminate certain teachings and views once held because they are now considered out dated and incorrect... so tell me please.. why can't I?
I then stated that though I may disagree with her views.. I respected them and believed that her faith was personal and if it worked for her and if she believed it to be correct.. then for her it was.
I thought I did a good thing.. I thought that I was respecting her religion... I was wrong. To this the roommate became more angered and stated that it was pluralistic views like the one that I held that was demoralizing religion and faith. She then stated that because our education system was teaching political correctness to avoid infringing on people's religious rights... that they were in turn insulting her.
She stated that since she believed that her view was the only truth... to state that her faith was correct while mine was correct as well.. in fact insulted and diminished her faith since she believed that their could not more than one truth.
Really.. it is views like that that cause problems.
I know that not all Christians are like this... pushy and demoralizing... but if you think about it.. if anyone were to convert me to Christianity.. would it not be my father... and would you not think that you would attract more people to your faith with honey than with vinegar?!
I am very glad that this person is able to feel confident in their religious stance... that being said.. because I am not 100% sure myself on where I stand... I refuse to discount any one faith.
Really... can't we just agree to disagree?!?
