I want to express this love in public sometimes,, like stopping for a little prayer at a restaurant, singing "Jesus loves me" while I walk along or vote for a Democrate (since I am not a fool) now and again, wear a smile and talk about my friend Jesus to seekers as I move along thruogh life
IS IT NECESSARY THAT THIS BE AN IRRITANT?

I am an Cynic. I may occasionally stop say a little swear word at having to pay a parking meter, sing "Louie, Louie" while I walk along or vote for a Democrat (useless as it may seem) now and again, wear a sneer and talk to my friends about Christians as I move along through life.
Neither of these should be an irritant, right?

Is it alright with you religious people that non-religious people express how they would never be religious?
I'm not saying I'm one of those people, just seeing if you are a hypocrate or not.
Secondly, you making most of your conversations about Jesus to everyone can be as annoying as a someone who won't stop talking about sex, or a woman who constantly talks about how much she hates men, it can be annoying regardless of if it's about Jesus or not. It only shows that your obsessed with the topic. I don't think God intended people to waste their abilities and talents God gave them on only talking about Jesus unless their a priest and they were meant to do that. Is that what you want to be, a priest?

Yes. I respect that. I think you should be able to pray wherever you want, whenever you want. Out loud, speaking in tongues, dancing and chanting, I don't care. I do draw the line at obligatory GROUP LEAD prayer, in public places, such as schools, stadiums, etc. It's easy to say, "Well, just don't participate" but this practice excludes whole groups of people, atheists, agnostics, other religions. Proselytizing and witnessing are fine, as this is part of your religion and your right, and you can't always know who will be accepting and who won't be, but, once it seems that the person is resistant, have respect for their views and let it go. Keep in mind the you may offend people with this, and try to be as respectful of their views as you would want them to be of yours. You wouldn't want someone to try to "convert" you to atheism, so keep in mind they probably don't want you converting them, either. Religious people are not an irritant, religious people that try to use their religion to deny people their rights, (gay people) or adopt a "holier than thou" attitude and don't respect other people's viewes, are. Of course, those kind of people are irritating regardless of their relgious affiliation, or lack thereof.

I love Jesus too =) I think it sucks that some Atheists have it in for people who want to share the gospel.

I have no problem with that, as long as you understand that I do not believe in it. This is like people who smoke, that is ok, just go to the right place to do it.

It's mostly annoying. And you'd get weird looks if you did it in this country.

You are welcome to do as you wish as long as YOU don't act as an irritant.
