I just moved to South Carolina [a perfect place for a non-religous person to move right? lol] and everyone knows i dont believe in God and they are ALL trying to get me to convert. I get people coming up to me who i have never seen at my school and asking me questions such as... "where do you think we came from" and "who do you think put us here" How do you suggest I get them to stop! They are all so hardheaded and wont accept the fact that there are always going to be people different than them. It is really starting to bug me too!

*sighs* dont worry manzz... some times christianity is like that. im christian, but we dont force ppl to become christian. God's love isnt forced, so they probably worry about you.. ionoe, but you have a decision on religion.

i'm non-religious too! but im kinda half buddhist and half catholic and half christian. k well one third each since my family is and i go to all those religious events. but anywho. they just care for you. like especially christian/catholic, if you dont believe in God you go to hell, so they worry for you. you know what i mean? just tell them they're being disrespectful to what you want. or change the subject

God's love isnt forced, so they probably worry about you.. ionoe, but you have a decision on religion. sometimes people don't get it that people have their own opinions. Seriously, I think some Christians get so narrow-minded that they try and convert anyone regardless of what the other person thinks. As a Christian, I talk about God's love, but I don't force it... If people do however...just tell them to respect your opinion~ if they STILL don't, then it's up to you. You choose the path, that's why there's free will. |

Because my grandparents are buddhist and we still go to temples.. But yeah, why would you move to South Carolina? Learn about history of science or evolution or something to answer their questions. Like "Humans evolved from single celled organisms called blahblbah over blahblbha billion years ago. The cells in this organisms miraculously blabhblahblah adapted to the environment. Over time, blabhlbah occured, and humans blahblbhblah. " |

For me im catholic and ud think it would stop there. Now you got these hardcore religion freaks coming to u in school (and we got a few at my school) telling me what i should believe in!
Thats what I hate the most... people should freakin respect wut u believe or not believe and not shove it down ur throats. So I took the time to learn about quite a few religions so if theyd try to tell me something Id bring issues about it which I know they cant answer. Or if they BS id make it sure they know i know their BSing. After that they stopped since I knew more about what they believed and they couldnt argue with me! haha im a nerd, but hey it works. |
