My sister's asked me before... I don't think the religous people where I live care about if people believe or not, they just preach kindness and love. Actually, Seventh Day Adventists go door to door, but we just ignore them :P

some guy in WaWa (a PA convienent store chain thing :P) started saying jesus is coming back and we still have time to change and bought a doughnut and left :lol:

yes, I do. :D

I wish that kind of stuff didn't happen. It tends to push people away.

I've had that happen a few times from the bible thumpers that come door to door, and once from a woman handing out pamphlets at the library. I just say no I don't, they ask why that is, I shut the door.

Yes, but I will never be as righteous or holy as this woman :cry:

I'm normally the one bringing up the topic of God. If you were to talk to me in person for longer than 10 minutes the topic of Jesus is guaranteed to come up regardless of who you are.mindstorm

Last time I was asked that question it was by an elderly woman in the critical care unit of our hospital. She was very ill, but managed to ask me that question and hand me a small laminated card that explained who Jesus was and how he fit into the bible story along with scripture verses for reference. She easily had more faith than any other person I've ever met. Her husband was a pastor and she was so kind about it and so pure-hearted that it almost made up for every other atrocity I've seen committed in the name of God and Christianity.

When I meet those guys, I usually just say something like, "I'm really in a hurry, give me a pamphlet and I'll look over it later." They give me a pamphlet, I say thanks, then I throw it away in the first garbage can I find.

A very religious girl I knew asked me once...she found it weird that I didn't believe in god.

Yup, and I always reply with a "its none of your damn business" type answer.

LOL! I'll have to remember that assuming a ever get a chance to use it.

yeah, but I just ignore them.

not that i can think off of the top of my head. But it would not be a really big deal .

No, but I would just reply with a scripture from the bible.

I think it would have to depend on how or why the topic was brought up. If it sounds really shallow and being brought up just for the sake of it, yeah I would probably be anoyed. I don't mix well with the general church crowd.
