Religion forced down your throat

I find atheists trying to shove their beliefs down my throat more then religious people these days. Just saying.Toriko42

As opposed to the Internet where you have atheist exposing theirs up your ass and getting as worked up about religion as religious extremeists and they are even worse to me because these ones pollute the places I actually enjoy visiting and frequent....like here for example where I rarely find these religious fanatics and the ones I do I really don't argue with.

Passion of the Christ, eh? Nothing's going to convert you like watching a Jew dying for two hours. :P

They come and visit a few times, but when you have too much counterpoint and alternitave theory they realize that you aren't a likely convert and they never stop by again, don't even say hi at the grocery store. Not very much like the friend they make themselves out to be at all. It doesn't hurt my feelings just seems kinda prickish.

Oddly enough, I find atheists shoving their beliefs down my throat more often than religious people.

I would say "lack of belief" rather than belief.

Unless you want to say "belief of unbelief..." But that doesn't really make much sense.

Well let's be honest - that's all the film is. I'm a big fan of Mel Gibson as a director, but Passion of the Christ was just a really expensive film about Mel's three favourite things - preaching about chrisitianity, torture and dropping sly anti-semitic references.

Why yes, and in return I have done the same thing to them in return. Eventually I get them to contridict themselves and then I've won. I guess.

I used to go to Catholic school but they liked to repent everything I found fun and so I left.

Now I've creatated my own religon and I'm xontent with it.

And my dad doesn't like people coming to our doorso he usually yells at anyone we don't know.

I don't think I've seen any preachers for a few years now....

Yes, I just take their stupid panthlet and say 'thank you'. Then I get home and burn them all.

[QUOTE="ariz3260"]Without going too deeply into this, I would say Buddhism teaches you the importance of "right mind" and "right action" and how they reinforce one another. It deals more with how one handles daily situation rather than debating how the universal was created or if Buddha was real. Buddhism teaches you a living philosophy

I haven't heard of this LaVeyan Satanism before, it certainly sound interesting enough that I should look more into it.

To be fair, when Buddhism and Christianity were form, I doubt the creator of these religions (Buddha and Jesus) intended for it to become the organized religions in the form we witness today . Their teachings were base on how to go about one's business in a daily setting. Last I check they don't require their follower to go to the temple or church to be a worshipper once a week. True religious pratitioners, rather than preaching their believes, they live it and be the examples for others to follow. I tend to find the people that preach the loudest are those that has the least amount of substance when they talk, hardly an example I want to emulate.

And it is ironic because Jesus died Jewish. :P

When people usually come to my door to preach their religion, I usually say I'm late for my devil worshipping.

They leave instantly.

As a Jehovah's Witness, I can say that we don't give out copies of Passion of the Christ at peoples doors.(huge lol's) I go to people's doors to talk about the bible, and it's difficult because I find that a lot of people are rude when I'm trying to be nice. We're not trying to convert but rather give people a bible education and let them choose what they want to do with their life after they learn the bible. Sorry, if I annoyed anyone by waking you up in the morning.:P But we really don't go to your doors because we have nothing better to do, we just follow Jesus admonition to preach the word of God's Kingdom so that's what we do.

No. And if they did I'd just shut the door, or ignore them. Problem solved.

Religion isn't "shoved" in my face as is often described.
