Do you agree that out of all religions in America, Christians are the ones that try to shove their religion the most down peoples throat?

[Steven80000]

I am Christian and saying this. Let people be if they don't believe in Christianity or any religion. I don't see Muslims in America and other religions trying to shove their religion down people's throats in America and same with other religions. Out of all Christians, Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons try to shove their it down the most. Catholics (I am Catholic) and other Christians shove it down the most after them. Even though me individually I don't do that shit.

[Friendlybro79]

Yes. Locally by me Catholics are actually the quietist about pushing religion. Every time someone starts talking about how all the other Christians are going to hell, insert bad things about Muslims, and LGBTQ+ it's almost always someone who's born again. That's just by me and I know that not all Christians are like this.

That said I live in a diverse area and I'd say without it when being close, to almost every religious shove down your throat forced conversation with someone will be from a Christian. It's really annoying to be honest.

Penn of Penn & Teller and renown atheist said it this way:

"How much do you have to hate somebody to believe everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?"

He compared it to seeing a truck bearing down on someone; if you believed that, you would tackle them to save them, regardless of social awkwardness or the appearance of “shoving it down”.

So while he remains an atheist, he respects their conviction because it shows they actually care about him.

His sentiment was, "I don't respect people who don't proselytize. I don't respect that at all".

Ultimately it comes down to one of two things…. Either they don’t really believe what they claim to believe, or they really don’t care enough about others to share the gift of salvation.

[permanentem]

Nope. The groups that tend to approach people most often to try to convert them are Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Muslims, The Nation of Islam, The Black Hebrew Israelites, and other cults like the mother cult or whatever that shit is called again. None of the above are Christians or Jews.

[permanentem]

Scientology and Freemasonry are also pretty large cults that try to convert people.

[permanentem]

The religion that obviously most obnoxiously tries to force their beliefs on people though are Socialists/Atheists.

[nolabels]

@permanentem The Socialists/Atheists are absolutely the most vitriolic in trying to convert humanity to their beliefs, in my opinion, as well.

[permanentem]

@nolabels Yep. I've had all sorts of people approach me to pitch their views, but only the socialists /atheists do shit like this.

[OneViewpoint]

Yeah, Christians are the only Abrahamic religion that has adopted this insane need to convert everyone else to their beliefs. It reeks of insecurity in their own religion. And it's obnoxious. I have actually threatened Jehovah's witnesses who rang my doorbell to get off my property within 10 seconds. Or else.

[Friendlybro79]

@OneViewpoint I've had a similar encounter like this. I didn't have to threaten them though lol. What where they doing it got that far. They are definitely the most annoying for sure haha.

[Lliam]

I agree. And they are annoying.
I never had a Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist or even pagan try to convert me. Thankfully, most Christians don't either.
And the evangelical types get offended when you brush them off. I won't put up with their Bible thumping nonsense.

[exitseven]

Muslims will not convert you. They just kill you instead.

[Lliam]

@exitseven. What bullshit.

[exitseven]

Ask everyone in the twin towers on Sept 11 th

[Lliam]

@exitseven. Sure. Muslim terrorists rigged three towers to implode in their own footprints and fired a cruise missile at the Pentagon. It was Muslims who happened to not show up for work in the towers that day. It was dancing Muslims that got caught watching and celebrating as the towers burned.
It definitely wasn't Israel in collaboration with people in the U. S. government who orchestrated and executed that event in order to pull a coup against the Constitution with the Patriot Act, create an excuse to invade Afghanistan, and bring on "the new American century".

Didn't Netanyahu say 9/11 was a good thing for Israel? And didn't Israelis wear burning twin tower costumes and celebrate?

[exitseven]

I watched that second jet airliner hit the tower. it was not "rigged to blow".

[Lliam]

@exitseven. Yeah, Those towers collapsed in their own footprints because of some fires. There was absolutely no evidence of timed explosions when they collapsed.
But what about the third towers that wasn't even hit?
It's convenient that all the debris was cleaned up immediately with no forensic investigation.

[exitseven]

@Lliam. I always thought that you were a pretty astute person. This really surprised me.

[RingOfFire]

Absolutely not. Islam is by far the most aggressive promulgator of its religious edicts and has a long history of forcing its religion on others through violence. So much so that it has become a dangerous terrorist scourge in many places around the planet. Christianity can't hold a candle to it. It has been that way ever since Islam first emerged.

[genericname85]

i didn't see a chrisitan equivalent to the "jihad" since the cursades. the muslims still do that today. so no, i think muslims are the worst offenders of this by far. i mean i'm speaking globally. it can be different locally.

[Alex-Snow]

To some extent.. yes. Look at what they have done in Louisiana where they made it mandatory to post the 10 commandments in every classroom. Also by banning some books that even mention sex or any LDBQT issues. That is all just wrong

[exitseven]

No, its Muslims. We all have to be carefull that we do not offend them. Until just a year ago we were not even allowed to say Merry Christmas.

[beefcakebradybatson]

ALL fundamentalists try to shove their religion down people's throat, though "Christians" attempt to frighten folk into following their religion by saying non-Christians will go to H**l after the Rapture !!!

[DryGermanGuy]

Of course. They are the earliest and largest group. The "original gangsters". :-D

[Dargil]

Witnessing and living as examples is not shoving. Ignore us all you want.

[loveslongnails]

"Christians" have always done that. Yes, I agree.

[Anonymous]

All religious communities are sects.

[Iron_Man]

we are taught to spread the word of God ✝️

Not Baptists we are too lazy,
