Christians

I was doin' the Facebook today, and this girl from my university that I had a class with last semester messages me asking "Why do you hate Christianity so much?" (considering I have "Hail Satan!" listed as my religion and "I eat Christian children" as my status... I also said "Fuck God" once in that class in order to prove a point about freedom of religion, and I don't think she took that well).

Anyhow... she went on a spill about how I should find Jesus and so on. Nice simple pretty girl too... says she's gonna pray for me every night. I must admit that the thought gives me impure feelings.

So many damn Christians have attempted to "convert" me in my 3 years of college that I lost count. Mormons will Jesus cards, Gidiens pushers, pretty girls who try to woo you into lovin' Jesus through them, militant angry Christians who threaten to beat one up if he doesn't convert, kind old people who talk about Jesus' true message, inspired young preachers who spend their lives helping the poor, and so many more...

I guess that it comes with the Arkansas. You can't imagine how hard it is for me to resist cracking Satan jokes while talking to them. I must admit that at times I was weak and couldn't help it.

Have you had any interesting conversion attempts happen to you?
Are you a heathen-converting Christian yourself?

I do realize that most Christians are decent, normal people... but the drive that some have to spread the word is still truly amazing.

Your thoughts?

 

Onward, Christian Soilders!!!


atriot:

 

Onward into the fury of Satan's asshole!

 

but why would satan need an asshole?

 

Ehh... to stick Christians in it and gas them methane style?

 

I sometimes see two white guys in shirts'n'ties riding bicycles around the city here.

I really wanna stop them and ask them why they are here.

 

I think his vile demon tail would get in the way of that activity.

 

Hilarious........fookin hilarious:sifone:

 

pfft... an interesting argument?? nope. Just the usual...

 

You should not be converted. Stick to your guns and be nothing. But you can always be a Hedonist with me. It calls to people follow me and worship no one but yourself.

Peace

 

I get what your saying....I once made a comment about how christianity began as a cult following or something like that and some girls got all pissy and annoyed and one started going on about how I was ignorant.
Whatever.

 

Hell, back when I lived in Honduras I used to be threatened all the time because I wasn't a Christian.

You really should.

Hopefully they'll tell you that they're there for the Jesus and the ladyboys.

 

I have had loads of people attempt to convert me.
But I'd not play along with their fantasy and use "Satan" in anything I said to them, as that is just part of Christianity and that fantasy.
I just listen to them as individuals, and listen to what they have to say.
The chap I work with, always tries to convert me.
Just my look, he is absolutely bonkers.
Not a "rational" Christian...YAWN.
So I kinda get a kick out of talking to him.


BSR, you like arguing with people, and Christianity is a doozy.
But, make sure you don't end up like that chap in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Believer_(film) ... lol.

I'd like to know what you actually believe in (not this "Satan" bullshit, you like to trot out). I think I read you are Jewish, is that true?

 

I'm actually quite inerested in their reasons. I'd love to know why they came to Thailand to spread the word. I mean, why here? Do they think that the people of Thailand need to be converted?

It's decided, the next time I'm stuck at traffic lights in the city and I see them beside me, I'm inviting them for coffee.

 

Jehovahs witnesses came to my door quite a few times, always asked for me, when I was about 17. At first I found it FASCINATING to listen to them and wonder about the mechanism of their brain, but after awhile it grew very tedious.

 

I've only had someone try to convert me once here in Bloomington.

There was some street preacher, a real dick, who was out on the same corner for a while ranting about homosexuality and abortion and so on. I was walking by and he said, "Brother, do you have Jesus in your heart?"

I told him to go to Hell.

 

Shoulda been like "Nope, he's in my pants."

I was raised in a Unitarian Universalist home, most people don't know what that is (non-denominational, but its not like non-denominational Christianity...its non-denominational PERIOD) this means i was introduced to many religions growing up, and has led me to major in Religion (just to study all of them as much as i can).

While i was growing up (k-12) i lived in a very conservative area, people always ridiculed me for not being christian, granted some were accepting. I even had to lie to some of my best friends in high school about my mom's beliefs so that they wuold accept me (I HAVENT TALKED TO THOSE BITCHES IN FOREVER, thank goodness).

Now I go to a very very liberal school, and all my friends openly discuss things. I love it. However, I do work for the school and i was at work just yesterday, and some how religion came up with the kid who was sitting next to me (we call alumni so we are sitting next to people talking when we aren't talking to people on the phone). He was like what are you and I explained how i was raised, cuz I don't claim to be Unitarian. I take various philosphies from various religions that I believe in, along with what I know and have found on my own, and thats my religion.

He tried to tell me thats not good. He said you have to believe in something, you have to faith, your life isnt worth anything otherwise. --He never tried converting me, he was only condescending, and that still pissed me off.

I know I'm far more open minded because of my upbringing, but I wish religous people could accept that they have their beliefs and I/we have ours without judging us or attempting to convert us.

My second cousin told me I was giong to Hell when I was 17 and he was 18, he said that about my grandfather and family as well (my fathers side of the family is Jewish). I was about the punch that fucker...

Why can't we be content with what we believe and not intrude on the beliefs of others???

hence im a religion major focusing on religion and conflict...

 

I was watching some fucked up wife swap show on ABC the other night and some christian fuck said "he wasn’t preparing his children for life; he was preparing them for the afterlife" – that’s fucked up
