Why so much pressure?

So I haven't posted in a while.  It has been fall break and I have been so busy.  I have just been all over.  One of the things I learned over break is tolerance, especially religious tolerance.  One of the people I hung out with was acting weird around me after I told her I was Catholic and she kept trying to get me to go to her church events.  I'm sorry but I am not going to change my religion because of what anybody thinks.  I am going to accept you and your beliefs but that doesn't  mean I am going to follow them... Hello I am not pressuring you so don't pressure me! I don't know why people try and make it a big deal to convert people into their religion, let people believe what they want and if they ask you questions answer them, don't pressure them into believing what you believe.  People are entitled to their own opinion so let them have it.  Religion is such a touchy subject that, lets be honest, should just be kept between you and God (or other religious figure)  It's different if someone asks you a question about your beliefs or if you ask someone else a question, but ultimatly it is up to you.  Nobody else needs to be involved in what you believe.  Sorry for rambling but I need to get my point across.
Other than this little issue, my break has been very nice, fun, relaxing, and tiring all at the same time it helped me realize some things, and help me understand who I can trust and consider a true friend.
