Whatever religion you may adhere to, or not adhere to... Has anyone ever tried to convert you?

Lol, I can sympathize. Some people just can't fathom how I'm happy being Buddhist. It's the same reaction I imagine I would get if I said I was happy walking on my head or something.

Too many times to tally! The saddest part is, they really thought they were doing me a favor.

Many times....poor them. I've been studying religion and religious texts my whole life and, so far, have know more about whatever "Holy Book" they're pushing better than they do. I have had many of these "missionaries" from various faiths abandon their ridiculous practice after they have talked with me, though. Typically, the "pushers" are people who are actually very ignorant about the history of their text and traditions. Their "training" always is based on teaching them the good things about their faith, and never teaching them about the ugly secrets that every religion has and tries to brush under the rug.

Yes many times by many religions but I stay true to myself I am an Atheist and won't convert to any religion. I'm happy the way I am!

Yes, to Christianity countless times, a few Jehovah's Witnesses. Nobody ever tried to convert me to Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Seventh-Day Adventism, or Atheism.

Only twice. The first gave up, on account of logic=satan.
The second I accidentally converted to my own perspective, so they obviously were not very good at it.

Plenty. It gets annoying after the second time.

I've gotten numerous emails from people on this site telling me to think their way before it's too late.

For six years. Five days a week. I adapted. I did not succumb. It has made me cynical and bitter, but at least I am not brainwashed.

Many times,however when I try to debate religion with them they soon give up.
