The Convert. Because they left your religion for a reason so you'd have to figure they weren't happy with it, and they have an intimate knowledge of it. So they can, in theory, argue intelligently about it.

I really think it depends on the individual. I have had people from several of the categories you have listed give me a hard time... and I have had some that at least tried to understand where I was coming from. I have a hard time generalizing these things when it comes to the experiences I have had personally.

Same culture but different religion. You have betrayed the status quo in being different if you are unique in your beliefs in your culture. That is how most people would see that.

They all bread hate. If they belong to organised religion. You see how is it that one religion can go to another country or people and force them selves onto other peoples. For instance Christians went to Philipines and said covert or die. Muslims went to Indononesia and did the same. What makes you think that they are anything but hateful. Be human be good to others. Dont follow any of these religions as all they do is bring suffering to humanity.

I agree with William. As long as you go into a debate or discussion with an open mind there should be no need for anyone to give or be given a hard time.

3.-Someone who converted from my religion to Christianity.
I converted from Christianity to Judaism. I could not accept Jesus as G-d.---plus other things, this being the biggie. I cannot believe that someone could suddenly say they accept this illogical concept.
G-d is One---------------He was, and is, and always shall be.

would guess any of the above but will say # 2. what the problem would be for me is that I personally get " on my high horse " when anyone trys to shove their religious belief system down my throat simply because their way is the only way and they know what is best and right for me.

Whoa, I say #3
Coz the former believers won't believe what we believe and they'll carry on saying we're nutty!
