feel the need to shove it down everybody elses throats, and make them follow the 'correct path'!?
You are entitled to your views, but WHY do you try to impose them on everybody else!!??

m_ryan_a - I NEVER said 'every' religious person does, I said 'a lot'. Read the question before answering...

ATTENTION ALL IDIOTS!!!
I never said EVERY religious person does, if you would read the question carefully, before you start your ranting and raving, you will note that it says, 'a LOT'.

Presagio - not a very good example!! You could prove you have a cure for cancer, you can't prove a God exists...
Take that to the bank.... etc

I agree. I am a Christian, but I do not believe in shoving it down people's throats where it isn't wanted. Jesus said if they don't want to listen to you shake the dust of their town off your feet and go elsewhere". He could see that over persistence was counter productive and that it was better to talk to people who were interested in what you were saying. BTW I have brought dozens of interested people to faith but learned the hard way in my early years of faith by putting my family off through over persistence - something I deeply regret.
ETA I guess the correct approach of being selective and sensitive comes with experience and maturity and taking notice of the teaching I have just mentioned.

Unfortunately I thinks it is because part of being a happy clappy is converting people to your faith.....if only being a non believer we had a doctrine to converting them back to the indifferent side of the force...seriously though I think it has something to do with them somehow convincing themselves that by somehow shouting it out from the hill tops will somehow make it all the more real! Well, look at it..religion was the first organised PR stunt.....without people spreadying the word religions die......so there you have it...god is apha to omega....the whole alphabet and all the words that it can create..cos without them god(s) stop existing!

If once you're saying non secular you mean believers of Christianity then that is because of the fact it states interior the Bible that that is faulty for a guy to place with a guy the way a guy lays with a women human beings. for this reason while the country they stay in makes what they have self belief is a sin legal they communicate out against it. perhaps in the event that they knew as lots approximately terrorism, worldwide starvation and poverty as they do suitable to the Bible they might additionally communicate out against those matters besides.

Basically, you're just wrong. I've never tried to convert anyone, and never will. Christians were told to spread the word, and it's done. I personally don't know anyone who hasn't heard, so as far as I'm concerned, that job is done. I don't see christians trying to convert near as often as much as I see rapid atheists trying to unconvert us. I could care less if you believe or not, it's called free will. New word for today, "tolerance". That would mean try spending a whole day without trying to spread anti-christian propoganda or conducting any hatemongering. Can you do that? For a whole day? Never mind, didn't think you could, must be that huge tolerance overload you must be full of.

This is man's arrogance and narrow mindedness. Those who try to impose their religion on others are simply not following its teaching, for both the Bible and the Koran preach belief by conviction not coercion.

Why does a concerned friend try to impose their non-drug using ways on a drug addict? Because they think they have a better idea. I'm an atheist and do not like people to push their religion on me, but I understand why they do it. I'm not saying it's right, but they think they are helping.

Define "shove it down your throat." If I had a cure for cancer and no one believed me, I would try to shove it down everyone's throat. It is something invaluable that everyone should know. Why am I to blame for you not wanting to know or have the cure for cancer? Wouldn't you be "shoving" that down everyone's throat? Just an example....that you can take to the bank.

Preaching is imposing.
I guess it makes people feel good to know that when they convert someone, that they're not the only ones believing, or maybe in some religions it's required....

It's usually not a good thing to speak in generalities because not every "religious" person does so.
This is also a contradictory statement as you are imposing your own views on anyone who reads this...

Narrow-minded, frightened little people. Petrified that you don't believe in 'their' God. They have a bizarre fear that, if they don't believe in, what can only be described as, a mythical object then they will be punished by some higher being. I find them comical......
