(6,154 posts)I am just the opposite. I was quite antichristian on my 20s and 40s but I have gotten past it. I used to hate when people said, "Have a blessed day." But I have come to understand that they mean it sincerely. And frankly, I just look at it as someone throwing positivity my way, and sometimes, I'll take it from all directions.
I remember when I first saw trucks with Christian messages. I was quite annoyed, but now... Positivity.
Christians are supposed to proselytize. They are just doing what their faith commands. My faith also commands it, so I try to respond with something Buddhist. The more I think about it, the more I think that I will come up with a nice Buddhist equivalent.
One of my cousins regularly prays for me. She means well. I know that she cares for me deeply. And man, she walks the talk. I am quite receptive of the. Positivity.
I sense that some of you don't have any Christians in your life, who love you, walk the talk, speak and share their faith with warmth and love, and Don't judge. I have these people in my life. And they are Democrats. Conservative, black, prolife, Democrats.
Please don't assume the worst when you encounter Christians. Some of them are really wonderful people.
