What do you think of those Christians who randomly come up to you and ask "what happens after you die"?

[Anonymous]

they will usually go where there are lots of people such as college campuses or malls

[NamerOfStars]

I think it shows poor prioritization. You want to convert other people to your faith. Okay. And the way you do it is to... tell them it will benefit them AFTER they die. So it's not "here's a moral framework to help you make sense of the world and judge right and wrong". Not "here's a source of meaning and inner peace to help you through troubling times". Not even "here's the truth behind the universe and all existence".

If your faith gives you no benefits until you're already dead, you have the wrong faith.

That's only happened to me once at a coffee shop I hang out at often, maybe about a year ago. I was nice to them. They gave me this "you know you'll die someday, right" speech and gave me a pamphlet.

Other than that, it's just been random people at the mall or someplace like that handing out those goofy Chick tracts.

I tell them the fable of the bridge jumper.

A woman is about to leap to her death when a man asks, "Before you die, can we have sex?"

The woman refuses his request and prepares to jump.

The man replies, "That's ok I'll wait at the bottom."

Hearing that would really discourage me from jumping off a bridge. That's one way to prevent suicide I guess.

I simply answer "I won't die, so I don't care"

their reactions are priceless :D

I'm a Christian and I say that is the most stupidest thing I ever heard. I'm spiritual and life and death is last thing I'm trying worry about. It's lame tactic to get people to change there life around before it's too late.

[Asker]

I think they usually do that in hopes you will join their church. If it sounds stupid, how do they attract people. I definitely didn't want to join his church after listening to his speech

[Cocochoh]

Sadly they test you. See if your weak minded and easy. So if you fall for it without asking the goid questions then you'll be suckered in. Me I'd say "I know I'm saved so I don't have worry about death but rebirth."

[strateguy632]

well they each deserve a chance to be warned and share their misconception to get fixed.

[Siri137]

That's never happened to me. If it did, I would say,

"That's it, the end. We're born, we live, and then we die. No real mystery there."

[strateguy632]

colleges is the perfect place, during breaks have some dialogue instead of studying.

i have seen some on the street and THAT seems fruitless because people are going to errands.

[Asker]

they kind of remind me of pick up artists

[Agape93]

I find it annoying and hilarious.

Just tell them you'll be fucking their moms

[Dargil]

The answer is that you go into the ground and wait for The Resurrection. You do not either ascend into heaven or descend into hell... yet.

What do you think of those atheists who ask retarded questions on GaG?

I pity them. 👍

[Asker]

more people are leaving christianity than ever before in western countries

[Siri137]

Yes, in Western countries, but not the rest of the world. Christianity is growing everywhere outside "the West".

[Danny_dan92]

I would just respond.




Decompose.

[BarryLiverstone]

Think they are trying to share about the Bible
