Man I have had a crap buttocks day, it seems like everyone (EVERYONE) want's me to be christian.
Telling me all that mumbo jumbo about if I'm not christian ill burn in hell together with I need to accept jesus as my lord an savor.
So I'm looking into saving up some of my cash (I got a nice job shoveling dirt for 65$ a day! together with it's easy for me)
to buy a german sheperd!

together with I'm going to train it to rip the recruiting spirit right out of peoples faces.
Seriously though thats illegal contrary to expectation eh. Religious recruiters are annoying. I was told twice in walmart today in what manner or way "Such a fine young man like me would be a good servant of god!" I may be fine contrary to expectation I'm not going to be a servant to any god, I've played god of war II together with I'm not up to that excrement. I was in addition given such a nice compliment by my neighbor's parents, "It's sucha shame a person like you isn't christian." This wasn't today contrary to expectation like two weeks ago. What teh signal of angry dismissal is with this town together with focusing religion on me? It's freaking eugene theres over 900 people here together with appearently every single one I meet knows I'm not a "proud" god warrior together with wants me to convert. Any Ideas on in what manner or way to get them to step off? I've tried telling them to F off contrary to expectation as you know, cristians don't believe in anti-harrasment. not here at least... I just want to move contrary to expectation my parent's don't want to. I know the damn second I turn 18 I'm looking into buying a house in a liberal state. or alaska.

Roll your eyes to the back of your head, wave your arms around and speak in tongues. They will back away, slowly, and be afraid to approach you afterwards.

Though, seriously, there really isn't any way to approach that situation delicately. The only advice I could offer is to continue to politely decline their offer to get jiggy with Jesus.

I am a former agnostic turned Christian. (Sorta. I've stripped the extraneous garbage from the faith and super-simplified it, just focusing on what matters and viewing the Bible as no more than an interesting reference. Ordinary Christians usually don't view me any higher than they view your average Atheist.) I'm usually tempted into defending my faith, or formerly lack thereof. Today, I simply refuse to argue with anyone. I'm quick to change the subject, and when it's forced upon me, a blunt and to the point statement on what I think of the pressure put on me usually gets them off my back.

hmm, the first ide ais a good idea...I could also carry around a satanic book or necromancer spell book and wear a black hooded robe with a red pentagram on the back around where ever I go too... hmm it's just stupid enough to not work how i planned it too.

Yeah, do that and look like an idiot. Seriously, you're trying too hard.

How about you just ignore them? Like any civil/right-minded person would. When Mormon's come to my door, I tell them I'm happy with my faith and don't need their's. If/when they try to continue on I tell them I'm not interested and close my door. If they try to get inside the door I will keep closing the door on their arm until they get the idea. But the thing is, most people will stop after the first step of saying, "Not interested," if you don't act like a dick about it.

I agree. Just ignore them. Give them the cold shoulder and walk away. "No thanks."

Ha, it reminds me of this scene in Airplane! where all these recruiters are approaching the captain in the airport and he kung-fus all of them.

What I did, just to be a jackass to my neighbors who made a big deal of it, Turned on ALL the elctrical equiptment in the house all night. and got an electric blanket instead of a normal one that night. they were so outraged that they flipped me off from there windows. And I flipped them off back by setting up 10 strobe lights around my house and called some friends over for a party. Not many people my age can get away with this XD of course my parents are away for the week. bwahaha

man i don't even believe half the shit you guys spit out about RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS because it sounds way to farfetched and exaggerated to be true. let's make one thing simple: ppl want to sell you their shit. this is fact, but i honestly cannot believe that CHRISTIANS are the only ones walking up to you and saying "hurf durf belief in gawd NOW" because i have been approached by 30,000 more whackadoos than jehova's witnesses and mormons. walking the streets of new york and seattle alone, i've been acosted by bhuddists, muslims, scientologists, luddites, people who worship ancient babylonian idols, aryans, and this one guy who wanted me to buy a book with a snake god on the front.

i hereby declare a new GW rule that you can NO LONGER COMPLAIN ABOUT CHRISTIANS because it's boring as fuck to hear everyone's lame ass tales about how some normal suburbanite walks up to them and says "dude, believe in god." until one of you fuckers gets approached by a woman who cut her left breast off and tells you to submit yourself to the amazon queen, you have absolutely no room to complain.

fucking no room to complain.

you're kidding right.

I was told I was going to hell because I had a beard!

I've seen these people reduce young Christian girls to tears because they are DAMNED TO HELLFIRE for going to school.

what the fuck are you talking about.

i'm talking about fanatics in general. there are 10x more interesting fanatics out there than christians and every christian tale i've heard on gw has been something completely normal. handing out flowers at the airport is normal. crucifying yourself in front of a mosque are the kind of tales i want to hear.

who cares about Achiro, most people who mention zealous Christians almost always say that they were saying something incredibly offensive at the time.

one of the best dudes I know on campus is a brickyard preacher who prays for my soul and shit like that, I didn't bring him up because even though I know he hates the GLBT center and shit like that, he's a nice guy. most people ARE talking about "interesting" fanatics.

Well call me spoiled or whatever but people praying for your soul is completely ordinary. I hear offensive shit every day but seeing someone walk up to you while you're waiting for a bus, sprinkle dust over your head, and cast a charm to protect you from the crafty Andrealphus and the wiley Buer is much more interesting than "some dude said i'd go to hell for being literate."

I've had a skinhead flash me a noose in public at Jacksonville, Florida but I didn't make a topic about it. I don't make a topic every time a mormon knocks on my door and claims that being black is the mark of cain or whatever. But having a magic spell cast on you to ward off demons, now that's discussion worthy.

Or, I dunno, just listen to what they have to say if you've got the time. I'll afford them that courtesy. Most of these people don't expect you to listen and it gives you the right to criticise them and compare beliefs. Nothing pisses off an advertiser more than you challenging what they have to sell.

It sounds to me like you probably flaunt your atheism. How else would every person you encounter know about it?

keep posting...

Sorry about your troubles and all Archiro, but uh, if you're outspokenly atheist then people are going to say something.

You see, we live in a Christian country. It's a favorite pastime of Christians to attack the minority religion (ie atheists, jews, muslims, flying spaghetti monsterism, etc). If you are quiet about your religious beliefs, then no one will try to convert you! It's that simple!

jesus was pretty 420 friendly heh... hash oil was one of the most sacred ointments/oils to the jews at that time

as in... unless there was hash... god could not physically inhabit/bless a place
