People are so predictable. Let's say you get into a conversation with someone about whatever. Inevitably the conversation if carried to any length will touch matters of the spirit and religion and implications. Each side then begins to ramp up in defense of their view. The ramp up ultimately is Heaven and Hell.
The Christian, of course, stays firm discussing relevant points to the discussion. The other party, who is not a Christian, eventually cracks in which they have no choice but to discriminate against you, like "I won't play you at racquetball if you mention anything about religion." They do this because if they were to retrace the evidence they would have to repent and have a change of mind. They have just mistreated you.
This is a doublestandard, of course, because as the weeks go by that person who makes that demand he himself will introduce concepts to his faith whatever they may be even underhandedly. But you are not allowed to return fire as it were. Ultimately the non-Christian whether Atheist, JW, 7th Day Adventist, Buddhist, Mormon, Muslim even Agnostic will resort to some unethical response.
Here we can refer to a verse in the Bible that says we shall know you by your fruit.
