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.

um, please don't generalize that all christians are like that. in fact, we have no right to force anyone into our religion. she's probably just happy about where she is in her life because of christianity and wants to share that with others. perhaps it's not the right approach, but her intentions are all good.

hitler had good intentions... he was trying to get germany out of the depression caused by other countries stealing thier money.

good intentions mean little. good actions are great.

(yea... don't debate this... if you want to reply to this, make a topic in debate and i'll be happy to argue there. i think people would get mad if we had a debate here.)

all i have to say about this is that hitler's "intentions" were to wipe out the Jews, he wanted to eventually take over all the other countries... people voted for him because they believed he would get them out of the depression and they couldn't think of any better solutions (and he did improve the economy), but that isn't what was really in his mind. his main objective was, in fact, to create his own empire by betraying allies (stalin and the USSR), killing insane amounts of people, and basically whatever else was needed in order for his goal to be achieved.

further discussion? we'll take it to debate
