(I said that because she told me to respect her religion and to not listen to R and B and pop music around her)She told me she can pick and choose if she wants. So I was offended.(I'm bisexual and ugh she told me I couldn't be a christian because of my sexuality)Then I said that's why I dislike religious people because they are such hypocrites and so she got mad and left my house.Sorry if this is long.....Should I apologize?Would you?

 Haha, I like the sound of you - I'd have probably said the same thing about religious people being hypocritical. I don't think you should apologise to her, espeically as she's trying to take a moral high ground now that she's all of a sudden found religion. It's like she's looking down at you because of your sexuality, which is completely unfair. I think you should stick to your guns, she should respect your beliefs too - it works both ways. And her "picking and choosing" really makes the idea of her becoming religious almost laughable, it shows she isn't serious.
Maybe you should start believing in a fictional character out of a book and say to her your doing exactly what she is?
She sounds quite annoying!
Hope that helps :)

 I have nothing against Christians (though I do have a lot against nuts of any religion) but this girl doesn't sounds much like a friend. Apologize if you wish - it would be the well-bred thing to do, and breeding is everything - but it may be time to think about whether you want to continue to be close to her.

Wow. Yeah. She really got mad over that? haha You must have hit some nerve or been right on the nose with her. For her to just storm out. You can apologize if that is what you choose to do. But, hey how come she can say such judgemental things to you but when you say it is so wrong to her.Anyways...dude you need new friends.

 It sounds like she is trying to find her inner "Christian" but... all I hear is her being judgemental.
However, show her that it doesn't take religion to be the better person. Apologize and.. stop hanging out with her so much, she seems like one of those negative nancys who are just toxic to be around.

She says that "can pick and choose as she wants" and yet still chooses to condemn you for your music and sexuality. It might be an idea to pick and choose your own friends a bit more carefully. Tell her that God spake unto thee in a vision commanding you not to hang around with fanatical bigots, and further say unto her that she should go jump in a Burning Bush.
