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.

Yeh. I hate it when people try to force their religion unto other people. Just back off and continue practicing your own.

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.) |

Ugh, I hate it when all of these people try to force me to convert into their religion, and I do notice that it's mostly Christian people that try to convert us.
I also remember these Mormon people used to come to my house and try to convert me into a Mormon

Ah, I so agree with you. Okay, they come to my house like every 4 months to give us pamphlets about Christianity. This one house on Halloween even gave us a effing pamplet with candy that said how to rise from the sea to the sky (wtf??). Okay, what do they have to do that for. They're handing that out to KIDS. If I wanted to, I could've filed a law suit. But hey. Eh. I dislike Christianity in modern society and what it stands for today.

I have no problem against Christians, but anyone who is obnoxious about something they're proud of pisses me off. You're proud to be Christian? Great. I'm happy for you. But it doesn't mean you can go around and force people to believe in your religion.

wow, i dont like the way she try to convert you to christians. That is difinitely wrong the way they respect you .... their asking your personal identity and telling you that your going to died. There is no actual proof that Jesus exist. I think you should report to the city council or something.

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.

well this old couple kept coming over to our house trying to teach us stuff abt jehovah's witnesses. and we're like no its ok we don't wanna be converted. but they kept coming back, tyring to get us to read the bible and things like that. and i don't mean to offend anyone, but they're always christians. especially around christmas. i mean yes, spread your religion, but don't force it on other people. i mean, they have religions to believe in, their own god(s), own beliefs. no means no!

I agree. That is really annoying. I remember in Junior High some guy came up to me & my friends and handed us a Bible & started talking to us about how we should take God into our lives & stuff.

People should let other people believe in whatever they want and not try to convert them, no matter what the circumstances are. Something similiar happened to my mom, one of my brothers and I. --We were at a store-- lady: Are you Christians? My mom: Yes Christian Catholics lady: Oh! Would you like to join me in this prayer? My mom: Oh ok Mom, brother, and I: *read prayer from sheet* it was odd

the way i see it is that there is a wide spectrum of religious people
you got the crazy religious people and the people that accept people's decisions compeltely and practice religion themselves. of course you only see the crazy religous people cause they are the ones that will come up to you. i once saw this littlle folding card that asked you a bunch of questions. and it was like, have you ever lied? (even a white lie?) if you have your'e going to hell. have you ever commited adultery? (lusting for someone is considered adultery by god) or have you commited murder? (hatred is a form of murder) if you have then you're goign to hell. they try to control you through fear. but the gullible people believe it. |

my friend took me to her chruch yesterday, i didn't go because i cared, but i just wanted to get out of my damn house. the guy there was asking people to give names of people who aren't christians so he can "save them". after that, her mom wanted me to pick up a bible.
wtf. you know why there are different religions, so people can chose the one they WANT to believe in. i hate everyone thinks their religion is right and everyone should follow theirs. |
