Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 1: Try to Help Paranoid People by being pleasant and positive in the face of their mockery -- they may be reacting because of lacking self-confidence themselves.

   Get the log out your eye before you start on the splinter in someone else's eye. ,, It hurts people and is just as bad as making fun of a black person for being black. , This is not a guarantee that they will start to like the religion, but they will see that they should respect you and your beliefs if you are respectful of them.
   
   Don't respect the evil: love the sinners; hate the effect of evil...
   
   Show God's love for the sinners; not mainly your love but God's love. , This is what non-Christians hate most and oftentimes is what might draw criticism on your beliefs.
   
   Welcome it if someone asks about your faith, but don't shame people or push "Truth" onto them.
   
   Be kind.
   
   You can't expect to be accepted unless you accept others. , ,, You could just accept what that person believes about you.
   
   At least you will know inside that you are the wiser person by being more mature. , "If one asks for your cloak give him your shirt also." (That's: "He's so generous that he'll give you the shirt off his back!") , ,
