Studying can only do so much. That seems to be part of the basis of your argument with me. The importance is not solely in what you study,
If you don't read the bible and study it, you cannot truly know what it says, but rather can only "know" what people tell you it says. They might be right. HOWEVER, if they are wrong your beliefs are incorrect.
If your beliefs are incorrect then you run the risk of incorrect actions., as what you "put into practice" is based on flawed information.
All because you failed to read, study and learn for yourself.

If you’d paid attention to what I was saying with me angering the Conservative Christians, that wasn’t based off of beliefs, or knowledge,
Yes it was based on on both beliefs and knowledge: You believe that that the Abrahamic religions have the same god, and that belief is based on your knowledge of the topic... and turns about to be correct.
Again, (repeating for emphasis) I did pay attention to what you said. It was a fact, and was based on knowledge... your knowledge of god and the religions involve.
HOWEVER, you somehow don't understand that by providing facts to these "Conservative Christians" you were essentially challenging
their beliefs. You were (intentionally or unintentionally) finding fault with their beliefs. They felt like you were bashing their religion.
You have complained that I do this (find fault with people's faith), but it is exactly what you did.
Again, based on your description, you provided a fact to these people, they felt that you were attacking their religion/faith and took offense.
You can pretend that there is a difference, but there isn't. You just don't want to admit that you have done exactly what you complain that I do.

As to the relevant topic: I stand by what I say.
Having too much pride can be dangerous. Not solely as a religious standpoint, but also in life.
I have not challenged you on that opinion.
