What's your opnion on religion pushers,like people that constantly push their religion apon you?

Answer 1

People are not supposed to push their religion on you, so I think it is wrong. we should spread the gospel, and let people hear the good news of GODS love, but never push or try to make someone become your religion, they have to decide for themselves.

Answer 2

I'm related to at least two of this sort of person and I don't hold a very high opinion of them to be honest. These two individual relations have attacked and humiliated me since I was young, so this is a very sensitive subject for me.

I have absolutely NO problem with people sharing their faith. Saying what they are, asking me to join, and doing so politely, not a problem. It's when people attack and harass and curse you to Hell when you refuse(doesn't matter how polite you are or not, the reaction's always been the same for me) that I get really pissed. I do NOT like people like that, who can't accept and respect that not everyone is or will be the same religion as them.

People who have to be so aggressive in their conversions come across as either insecure in their beliefs to where they have to convert everyone they know to feel justified in their faith, like they're not the only ones. Or they come across as arrogant and selfish, like they're only out to get brownie points with God, convert enough nonbelievers in order to guarantee a seat in Heaven. That may not be their intentions, I don't know, but aggressive, holier-than-thou types come across like that to me.

I have no problem with polite people, but threats of Hell, name calling, and being hounded like an animal doesn't make me want to join any sort of religion that advocates this method anytime soon. People like that, in my personal opinion, need to stop focusing on damning people and helping those in need who aren't as lucky to have enough money so they can waste their time spouting off and inciting religious conflict.

Answer 3

Very likely they beleive what they are pushing. Most people do push what they beleive, either good or evil.

Matt 12:33-37

33 "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
(from New International Version)

Answer 4

I have never had this happen to me. I love to discuss religion/God/the Bible and always have. Most people cannot discuss it from the Bible itself as they do not know much about it--they just want to take an emotional approach and that will not work with someone like me who has done the research.

Answer 5

I get it all the time at work, because I work in a book store, and of course we have a religious section. I hate helping people who want a Christian book, because they always want to talk about it. ALWAYS. It's so friggin' obnoxious some of the stuff these people say to me. They'll suggest the book to be, but in a slightly demeaning way, like, "This will help you get closer to our lord and savior! Teehee!" They never read the damn book. They read reviews. It could be a piece of shite for all they know. I especially hate it when they say things like, "we Christians" and the like. I'm not allowed to talk about religion at work, of course, so I can't be like, "Nope, sorry, not one of those." so I just ignore them.

So, you should too. If they harp on you, though, tell them to back the hell off. It's your right, after all. And if someone puts a bible or a tract in your hand, like I've had happen to me, just give it back. If they refuse, drop it on the ground and walk on. If its a tract, though, throw the damn thing away. I like to look them in the eye and go, "Wow, it's like you're saying to me: Here, you throw this away!" It usually takes them awhile to realize what I meant, but they get the picture when I hand it back and walk away.

Answer 6

Life is hard, and some people find their spirituality is a way for them to properly cope with life and their frailties. If they then try to share that with you, it is ok. If you had something good you would want to share it with those you care about, not so? The same religion is not for everyone, but being open-minded is gain, in this situation.

Answer 7

I think there's a difference between people who live Christ, or whatever, and want to just share their joy of him. And those others who force their opinions and are almighty truly forget God's word. Those religious extremists are often very self-righteous and judge others...if they truly read the bible and were so good they'd realize it's almost blashemy to judge others...because that means they think they are good enough to judge others...and only god has that right.
In other words i dislike those who force their religious opinions.

Answer 8

I don't think it is as though they desire to be religion pushers as opposed to them being proud of who they belong to and they don't want their brothers and sisters to be lost. I would much rather have that(if it is the case) than others who sin and then think I am strange because I chose not to.May God BLess

Answer 9

You only have to push religion on me once, and I will tell you that I consider religion to be a private affair and none of your business.

Answer 10

In my gig, religion is announced and celebrated in a personal life. Push suggests that that religion has neither something good to announce nor celebrate.
