aggravated. i mean we all think different, was raised different, have different points of views. why can't they just accept the fact that i have a different view on things. i never put anyones religion down, but i never uphold it either. i love my religion n just wish people will accept the fact that i am at peace where i am. i dont tell others they are wrong so why in the world would they say that i believe lies. goodness, i apologize. i went rambling on. it's just very annoying n i wish people will stop worrying about everyone's differences and start looking at what we all have in common...a heart, a loving, caring heart. we can all share love to make the world a better place instead of arguing over something that no one will ever win, religion. when will we wake up and realize we need to concentrate on how we treat each other instead of how we can prove we are right and they are wrong? wake up, please. the world is a disaster and it needs our help

Nothing really. I'm confident in my path and besides it's not necessarily their fault. They've been taught that they have to do it, so there isn't much that can be done to stop it. Ignoring them will work sometimes, and humouring them will too. Getting annoyed or angry will only validate their views about anyone who isn't on the same path as them in their eyes, so reacting that way is not a good idea.

First, I find it is refreshing to meet somebody who actually believes something firmly.
Second, as I already have a very fixed belief, I explain to him where I'm at. That is, after having listened respectfully and actively, showing that what he had to say was important to me because he is important to me.
Then I let the person know that I would like them to understand what
Christ means to me, and would ask permission to share my own faith. with them. After we had shared our beliefs together, and if it looks as though neither of us are really interested in moving in the other direction, I would ask the person if he was willing ot be friends, even though we do not share the same beliefs.
I really believe the exchange would be enriching, and even though I am unmovable in my basic beliefs, I have a lot to learn in what makes people "tick".

When i was in HS some bible kidds tried to get me to go to their church with them. I did once or twice and decided it was not for me so I stopped. It was the first time I really learned about Jesus outside of Catholic school. I said they will never get me! Thank God that He did not remember my saying that. I taught CCD for 7 years at the Catholic church and then one day began to read the bible- Gospel of John- and decided for myself that everything they used to tell me in HS was real. Jesus is not a religion... He reveals Himself to you and He becomes a relationship. I thank Him every day of my life for opening my eyes and that He has forgiven my sin. I thought it was al a bunch of hogwash til it happened to me... and it is the greatest thing that ever happened in my life. I only wish I did not wait so long.
It is important to seek answers with all your own heart. Even sometimes our parents who have been taught a releigion try to teach us since it has been passed down thru the generations. The bible says "Seek with all your heart and you WILL find",
(not maybe find).....a decision on religion is our own decision to make ....no one elses, although it is a decision that needs to be made by every man and woman in their lifetime. It is important to pray that you make the right decision.
I do not like to be pushed into believing a certain way and feel some people overpush. This can be a not so good thing. Remember if it is the Bible you are seeking answers form,
Jesus never said, 'Follow my people', he said, "Follow Me."

That they do not have very much knowledge about God and I have been to so many mundane churches which only want peoples money. I am satisfied with God in my heart and Worship Him all the time by chanting His holy names.(Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Churches generally arn't interested in delivering the Truth They deliver what they think the people want to hear.

They come along like google-eyed book-ends tied together on short strings, or pairs of bees tasked to pollinate each house and move on. I find their persistence somewhat amusing, and feel bad for them at the same time.
After a few minutes' talk I usually conclude that someone washed their little brains and sent them out like wind-up toys to mess with the public and drain their wallets.

I love it. It gives me an opportunity to better understand different religions. If they start the conversation, I have no problem telling them about my faith. It's all good!

Honored that they would want me to be a part of their organization. But I would have to decline because I am already a member of a Church.

Irritated.
"Here's why our religion is better than anything you might believe now."
I usually just close the door with a polite no thanks, but if they get persistent or start actually stalking me (don't think it hasn't happened) my temper degrades rapidly.

I am acually okay with it, but then when I decline if they still continue trying, I feel that is being disrespectful.
