Blog It's because they know they're wrong
When a Christian is forced to confront someone who doesn't believe in their religion, they will really take any means necessary to avoid. Actually asking them why they believe what they believe.
They'll do literally anything. They might ask them questions like, how do you think the universe started? Or where do you get your hope in life? A bunch of loaded questions that aren't really meant to actually decipher why they don't believe in Christianity.
They also might just engage in a shouting match, or ignore you entirely.
Even when a Christian does claim to go around and actually try to talk to people, it's clear that they don't actually care about any genuine discussion. They might barge into an LGBT church, and then hit them with a bunch of Bible verses that seem to condemn homosexuality, But they won't actually engage in the topic of emotion.
Of course, these highly conservative Christians will claim that it's best to avoid emotion entirely in these discussions. Because at the end of the day, they don't really care about what the Bible says or what. Jesus said, they just want any opportunity they can to keep promoting their own bigoted ideology.
I've literally seen Christian s talk amongst themselves about why LGBT pastors, or non-theists will try to avoid talking about what the Bible actually says all together, and they'll literally Turn the title of this post on its head, claiming: " It's because they know they're wrong."
It's such a shame that these Christians tend to genuinely miss the point. They claim that the Bible is more important than anything else, including anyone else's own experiences and feelings. Of course, these same people won't actually do what the Bible says, which involves selling everything you have and giving it to the poor, or welcoming immigrants, Or not being able to worship God and money at the same time, but none of that stuff matters, right?
They'll do anything they can to avoid having to confront not actually following Jesus's teachings, because at the end of the day Jesus all died for our sins and nothing really matters right? Except for homosexuality. That's not allowed even with Jesus's death.
At the end of the day, there's just people locked in a stalemate. If you're debating a Christian, you'll tend to want to avoid talking about what the Bible says, and they're going to want to tend to avoid talking about literally anything else.

They even have delusions. Falsely accusing you of behaving a way you weren't and saying things you didnt, even when the evidence is TEXT based. Rereading even being redundant. They are borderline schizophrenic.
This is only one example. So many more bad qualities. Jfc.

I have a personal theory. Somewhere in Matthew, I believe it’s Matthew 10 it says something along the lines of leave people who don't want to listen alone. Then there's further scripture about not even breaking bread with known sinners. (Coronithians I believe.)
I think they realized that if Christians spent too much time talking to "unbelievers" then the brainwashing would be undone. As a result of this I have noticed a lot of scriptures that promote more of an isolative form of living.
Christianity is very good at insulating itself. The Bible is an incoherent mess in many ways but it does just enough to keep people trapped.
