How do you respond

Those that burnt people as witches meant well too...

Doesn't mean they should have been thanked for it.

 

They're politely asking for a chance to convert you.

"Thank you" and walk away is a polite way of saying "No".
"Thanks, but I don't believe in magic" is you trying to convert them.

If they approach me politely, I disengage politely. I neither want to be converted nor to convert them.

"Why did he give my entire family AIDS?" should be addressed to Jesus.

i would have said thank you, I did not know that

 

This would work- except that most of the Christians I've met who were willing to evangelize need something more forceful than a polite "no" to disengage the attempted conversion which they seem to look at as some sort of challenge that is met by aggressive persistence.

Perhaps you've encountered ones with better manners.

 

This thread reminds me of the time some Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on my cousin's door and I answered. They talked to me for a minute or two and tried to give me some pamphlets and whatnot, then I just said "no thanks.....I worship Satan":tongue:

They just rolled their eyes and walked away. haha

 

lol

 

Yeah I probably would have said something like that if I were drunk haha.

 

You were a clerk in a store....best responce is "He does? Wonderful! I'm busy right now, but I'll have more time to hear about Him the next time you come in.'

 

I'd tell them they are putting words in a dead mans mouth and barrage them with questions that I know they will not be able to come up with valid responses too. "How do you know jesus loves me, did you know him?" etc.

 

"How do you know Jesus loves me? Did you know him?"

Probable responce, "He told me so. Yes I do know Him, He is my living Saviour."

 

The OP didn't ask how we would respond in the same situation they had been in.

They asked "How would you respond when someone says to you, "We are followers of the lord, and we just wanted to let you know that Jesus loves you"

If it had been about the same situation, then I would 100% agree that the response should be polite and non-confrontational. Either that, or quickly followed by quitting the job.

 

If someone had said that to me I would have been thrilled.

In terms of Jesus, I have slagged the git off for the majority of my adult life, if he still loves me and is alright with that then it's win win.

Poor judge of character mind you

 

im comfortable with my faith, but thank you.

i told off some jehovahs witnesses. they showed up and started telling me about the grief of losing a child. it involved a lot of "how dare you"s and things. not a pleasant encounter. i really reamed them for it, and i was already "over" the death of my son but i pointed out how rude it is to show up and offer an unsolicited reminder of a difficult life experience. i still dont know who told them i had lost a child, i suspect one of hubbys (rotten horrible hateful greedy) family members. oooh but i was mad.

 

Sorry to hear that.Some people just never know when to butt out of other people's business.Possibly get a life and do something else with their time.

 

I came home once when I was about 13 to find two bible bashers sitting in my living room drinking tea, theyd let themselves in and made themselves tea. My mum was at work. First I just assumed they were friends of my mum but then they said they had come to spread the good word. I overreacted a bit, grabbed a carving knife out of the kitchen drawer and told them to get the fuck out of the house before I had to call an ambulance instead of the gairdí. I dont like being approached in the street but I just tell them politely Im not interested. Coming uninvited into my home is way over the line. I mean Ive come home to local nutters in the house but everyone knows them...theyre grand

 

hahaha dave is always so clever.


I would be like "Thats whats up... tell him hey for me."
Even though i don't even believe in that.

 

Surah 109: Al-Kafiroon (The Disbelievers)



1. Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)to these Mushrikûn and Kâfirûn): "O Al-Kâfirûn (disbelievers in Allâh, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His Messengers, in the Day of Resurrection, and in Al-Qadar, etc.)!
2. "I worship not that which you worship,
3. "Nor will you worship that which I worship.
4. "And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping.
5. "Nor will you worship that which I worship.
6. "To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islâmic Monotheism)."...


anyways I would say" ok thanks" ...
