religious people, passive agressive Options

[teeners4]

have you ever been in a similar situation?

today my friend and i were hanging out in the mall. then we were leaving a store. and these 2 ladies walked up to us and they're like:
Ladies:"can we talk to you for a minute?"
Me + friend:"ummmm okay?" (we thought they needed directions)
(both ladies grab each of us)
Lady: So are you Christian?
Me: No, but my dad is.
Lady: Oh im so happy for you that your dad is
Me: *nods + smiles because in awkward situation*
Lady: Have you attended church?
Me: Yes.
Lady: And how do you feel about it?
Me: well i'm happy for them since they're so happy to be with God?
Lady: Yes because they're connected to Him. don't you want to be connected?
Me: well im not religious so it doesnt affect me.
Lady: Well are you in school?
Me: yup
Lady: When you need help in homework. who do you ask for help?
Me: My friends and mom
Lady: No of course not, God does because he guides you, he leads you.
Me: o.....k *smiles*
Lady: Come to our church we have a church we rented a room out in a hotel.
Me: that's good for you
Lady: you should come this sunday. what is your phone number? so i can remind you.
Me: My mommy doesnt want me to give out phone numbers
Lady: Oh i understand, here i'll give you my phonenumber.
Me: ummm k
Lady: If you ever have any questions about God please phone me and i'll drive you out for lunch
Me: uhhhh k.....
Lady: So you gonna come tomorrow?
Me: umm i can ask my mom to drive maybe? but i doubt it.
Lady: no no dont ask your mom i'll drive you. where do you live?
Me: uhhhh... quite a whiles away from here.
Lady: o well my name is Connie
Me: that's great.
Lady: what is your name?
Me: ummm i have to go pee now. talk to you tomorrow.

then i go to my friend and the other lady
Lady: did you know that you're gonna die!
Friend: ...
Lady: because you're not religious! did you know Jesus died for us? you have to believe in him!
Friend: ...
Lady: you gonna die!

then i grab my friend and we walk away.

im not religious and i don't think i'll ever will be. but i find it awkward when religious people especially christians. (no offense) to that. its kinda weird. you know what i mean? its kinda like they're forcing you in a nice way. that's why i call it Passive Agressive.

also during the summer this guy walked up to my friend and asked:
Guy: Are you Muslim?
Friend: yes.
Guy: o that's bad. can you read arabic?
Friend: yes
Guy: here's the Holy Bible in arabic.
*man walks away*

i find it rude.

prime example of why i hate (some) christians.

some guy came up to me and my friends on the street and told us about how he got thrown out of china by the police...

i had to walk away, i might have gotten arrested for profanity or public unrest if i had stayed.


don't worry. i don't hate (all) christians. my best friend is a devot catholic. as long as you keep it to yourself... (debate forum is different, express yourself there, and have a nice logical argument about it.)

If we kept it to ourselves then we wouldn't be carrying out the Great Commission. We are called to tell others about our faith.

We are NOT called to try and force other people into believing. There is a difference.

I refuse to be quiet about my faith. I'll tell anyone who asks, and it manages to get involved in a lot of my conversations, but I won't go up to someone and say 'hey, you are going to Hell. go to church, loser.' That isn't right. But neither is keeping it inside.

My stand isn't very politically correct, but neither is what I have to say.

By the way, the ladies from the original post don't sound like Christians. A LOT of the people who go door to door (not all, but a good majority) are not Christians. They are part of cults posing as Christianity, such as Mormonism or Jehovah's Witnesses.
