Do you feel religious people are overbearing?

[DreamLife7]

I am Christian, but I am not overly RELIGIOUS. I'll give an example, these girls keep contacting me about a Bible study. Like bruh, why do I need to have a Bible study with you? I have shit to do. I can read the Bible on my own time. It's annoying

Yes

No

Other

[patois]

Nope. For a decade nobody even talked about religion on this site until last Christmas when you globohomos started acting like degenerates attacking religion as part of your communist propaganda narrative. Now that everyone's making you morons look like idiots, you want to call religious people overbearing because they don't put up with your bullshit.

[DrPepper12]

Hell yes!!! Keep your juvenile illusion to yourself!

Religion is a CANCER on humanity and needs to be DESTROYED if we ever wanna grow up as a species.

[Siri137]

God yes, are they ever! As you say, we can all read the Bible (or some other religious text) in our own time, on our own terms, and interpret what we read in our own way.

[Agape93]

Oh yeah. Socially and legally, the worst culprits are Christians and Muslims, with the latter being much worse than the former

[Agape93]

And I say this as a religious zealot

[DrPepper12]

I've never seen a prosthelyzing Muslim. It's forbidden. "There is no compulsion in religion" appears in verse 2:256 of the Quran, in the second sura.

[Agape93]

I never said a thing about proselytizing. And that aside, they make not knock on doors for converts, but in several countries, apostasy is punishable by death. So it's literally believe our religion or you die.

[DreamLife7]

@DrPepper12 I see a lot of black Muslims on the streets here knocking on car windows and preaching. so she's not lying

[DrPepper12]

Various black "Muslim" factions are actually old testament primarily. Just the same cafeteria religious people are in every faith.

[DreamLife7]

@DrPepper12 what does that have to do w/black Muslims in America standing on the street banging on car windows to convert people?

[katiesmuff]

Some are very much overbearing! Especially those that think their religion is the only one that is real and everyone should believe in the way they believe.

[Lliam]

Only a few. Most people are religious but don't broadcast it.
It's the Bible thumpers and evangelists who are obnoxious.

I'm not religious, myself. I get along fine with people who are, as long as they keep it out of my face.

[Paradox316]

Yes, but only the conservative and/or traditionalist ones. In my experience progressive and liberal religious people are nowhere near as overbearing, and in some cases I don't even find out until way later after I get to know them that they're religious.

[pergamon300]

generally not. I found in generally society and even at work, LGBTXYZ are by the most overbearing and broadcasting of themselves.

[DreamLife7]

Lgbtq don't knock on people's doors though. I've never had them bother me or hound me about bible study. They pretty much keep to themselves

[pergamon300]

LGBT just keep bothering people to keep coming to their events at work, and send emails and have articles about themselves literally nearly every week, and put their rainbow stickers up at work.

[DreamLife7]

I've never seen that honestly

[DrPepper12]

Never thought of that but there are a minority who take the "proud and loud" too seriously

[DJB72]

It's a different experience studying with someone else, but I get pissed off when people shove doing a bible study together down my throat, because what they mean is they want to "educate" me so I read it how they do.

[Yannae]

Yes, but because I have questions about religion and God. And some of the things I read are questionable, annoying me.

[strateguy632]

an invitation is including, not overbearing.

are wedding invitations overbearing?

[DreamLife7]

People don't send wedding invitations multiple times a day and knock on your door. You tried it yet failed with this analogy

[Zenpanda]

I confused by people believing and worshipping the god described in the Bible.

[DreamLife7]

I dont have a problem with anyone's religion. My issues you is overly religious people aka Bible thumpers

[strateguy632]

well the old testqment god was harsh but then he sent jesus, so changing how he handled us.

[Zenpanda]

@strateguy632
God is supposed to be all knowing, omnipotent and all powerful. Yet he fucks up in the first 6 days already and proceeds to punish all of future humanity and for some reason, snakes. God could prevent suffering, especially that of children, but chooses not too. If God is real and the one described in the Bible, he's equal to a sadistic child with an antfarm and a bad temper.

[DreamLife7]

@Zenpanda 🤣

[DrPepper12]

The sociopathic, violent, lying, sadistic narcissist? Yeah, he's a swell guy 🙄

[DrPepper12]

Well said!

[LiamJHayden]

Some can be. Of course, if one truly believes that his or her way is required for salvation, an argument can be made that persistance is in fact showing love for the person, even if it can be annoying.

[DrPepper12]

No. They're pushy, obnoxious and egotists

[NathanDavis]

no...

they have never tried to take down my door

[kellytheman]

They do sometimes. One time I was at a sex shop and this religious was using a megaphone trying to persuade me not going in.

[DreamLife7]

🤣🤣🤣😭 and see I'm christian but I'm not overly religious. Overly religious people try to force their ways on others

[kellytheman]

Yeah I have no problem with religion and I a Christian myself and I do believe in god but people who are overly religious and trying to save me or pray for gets on my nerves a little bit

[DrPepper12]

I would have mercilessly fucked with them. You're a better man than me...

[Dreamclouds]

They are obsessive motherfuckers dont get vaught in the narrow of their mind

[tryingitagain]

They can be, when they try to force their religion, thoughts and views on others. Uncomfortable!

[WhiteBoyChill]

I’m religious also and I agree. Some of them don’t seem to know about basic courtesy

[MikeTheBartender]

Amennnnn yes they definitely can be!

[Pinkandgirly]

Yes Jw and my sister.

[MasterKS]

@Pinkandgirly my mom too!

[Pinkandgirly]

@MasterKS what did you're mom forced religion on you?

[MasterKS]

@Pinkandgirly yes, share you in private

[Pinkandgirly]

@MasterKS sure go for it girl👍

[sallyjoeseph]

[eagle1951]
