I have nothing against religion (mostly) but i so HATE proselytizing

[La Lioness Priyanka]

pros·e·ly·tize (prs-l-tz)

1. To induce someone to convert to one's own religious faith.

[redqueen]

1. AMEN!

(see what i did there?)

[KitchenWitch]

3. ...

:spank:

:7

[KitchenWitch]

2. I cannot stand proseltyzing

Unless, of course, I am doing it! J/K.

:hi:

[redqueen]

4. It *can* be entertaining, though...

I had a co-worker who used to try to scare me by trying to describe how really really terribly awful hell is. His long-winded, bizarro analogies were nearly always good for a chuckle. :)

20. Proseltysing

Sounds kinky :shrug: :shrug: :hi:

5. Have you been touched by his noodly appendage?

Can I give you my testimony?

6. Keep yer dang meatball-lovin' pasta god to yerself! Get off'n mah propertay!

9. Ahm-a gonna turn the hose on yuh!

[Deep13]

16. Ramen, sister.

I hope you are dressed in full pirate regalia. FSM rules require that for anyone discussing His Spagettiness.

8. Nobody ever proselytizes me...

Sometimes I feel so lonely.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. its starts in the morning at 6.00 with the Watchtower people

then the random fundie in the subway always stuck on the leviticus chapter in the bible

12. My mom was a Jehovah's Witness who got kicked out of their meeting...

...almost literally, I mean with big guys escorting her to the door. She gets into heated arguments with Priests and Bishops. She'd argue with the Pope if she had that opportunity.

My mom is also crazy and God talks directly to her on occasion. She is always talking to Him. I don't know how He can stand it, why He doesn't Just strike her speechless sometimes.

Anyways, my Mom gave me God's phone number, the private one, where you don't have to go through His receptionists or secretaries.

Ain't a lot of proselytizers who can top that.

[crim son]

27. Whoa.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

18. And the wandering preachers on the Staten Island Ferry.

We're a captive audience for half an hour because we're stuck on a boat, and there's some lunatic shouting fire and brimstone at the top of his lungs.

10. You won't feel that way after you accept Jesus Christ as your savior.

:spank: :hide: :popcorn:

Oops, sorry.

[WindRavenX]

13. How do you think *I* feel? I live in UT. No one has a monopoly on proselytizing like the Mormons.

Yeegads.

[ThomCat]

19. Wow.

:hug:

Living there has to take some patience.

[Danger Mouse]

14. You only say that cause you're jealous that you're going to hell and I'm not.

:P

[Dragonbreathp9d]

15. hallelujah!

since amen was taken

[ThomCat]

17. That and overuse of magical thinking.

I don't actually mind magical thinking. It's a very useful and creative way to think sometimes. But when people apply it in place of reason and common sense it gets very amazingly annoying.

That's my biggest problem with religion.

If people used religion as a philosophical framework and a moral starting point, without becoming dependent upon their relgion and without pushing it on other people then I'd be a big defender of religion.

[Parche]

21. Proselytize

I despise all religions

I will not have a religion tell me what to eat on a certain day
or wear certain clothing, or do certain things.

23. While I was waiting for a streetcar, this jerk came up to me and asked, "Do you know Jesus?"

So I balled my hand into a fist and said, "Why, do you want me to introduce you to him?" He declined.

[SPKrazy]

25. In a much more inappropriate setting

Someone asked me that and I tried not to say it but my mouth was engaged before my brain could stop:

"well, I haven't had coffee with him lately" was my answer

:eyes:

bad decision, fortunately it was not noticed particularly and was okay.

not really okay by me, but well, okay enough.


:rofl:

[SPKrazy]

24. if you were saved you wouldn't feel that way...

:yoiks:

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. That's one of the perks of being an atheist

No recruitment quotas.

[LSK]

28. I really really hate that too

Be whatever religion you want, but keep it to yourself.

[crim son]

29. It annoys me but I do find it interesting. Many if not all folks who have approached me

to try to "explain" their religion do it in part by deprecating somebody else's religion. The fact that everybody seems to believe they follow the one true religion is something I noticed pretty early on. We're an insecure bunch, we human beings.

[SPKrazy]

30. it's just that there can only be one true religion...

for an insecure being that is :)


:hi:

:hug:

[crim son]

31. Exactly.

It's almost funny.
Hi Pawpicker! :hi: :hug:
