Do you hate it when people try to "Save" you?

[Gofez0r]

I think having atheists try to save me is way, way more irritating than theists.

 

[Itz Me]

Yes I do. If I wanted to be 'saved' then I would have gone to a church and started.

 

[Hilary :)]

Meh. I don't really care that much, but I do find them quite dogmatic.

When has an atheist tried to convince you out of your religion? I'm going to pull a number out of my ass here, but I believe that around 95% of athiests don't care what religion you are, but don't follow one themselves. Therefore we don't need to 'save' you.

 

[clawed]

LMAO, what do you mean when you say save you?

 

[Jellito]

Yeh, I fucking hate it when people are like
Tell your mum i saved you, and shit like that when im on like on the side of a river bank, or various shit like that
Pisses me right the fuck off.

amidoinitrite?

I do not need to be saved I like my religious beliefs, and don't want to be persuaded.

Statements like this is exactly the reason that all religion is stupid. It's just groups of people bickering at each others' differences (often trivial). If mankind embraced different concepts, debated and discussed, many millions of people would have never died.

Personally I detest people trying to save me, if conversion isnt entirely self initiated, what is the point of it. Id prefer Buddhism without its active interference in life, or hinduism which essentially doesnt discourage hedonism.

Besides, all the christian evangelists and their views on who goes to heaven just convinces me that heaven is a boring place, rather than enjoy the nice weather stuck up there with other bible thumping evangelists, id choose hell, for the company if nothing else

I'm not too bothered with the idea of people trying to 'save me'; however, everyone should just mind their own business, religion shouldn't be forced upon you.

 

[Weasel2013]

I for one being an atheist hate it when someone comes along and tries to "save" me. I do not need to be saved I like my religious beliefs, and don't want to be persuaded.

Share your opinions.

I usually don't mind it, however I voted yes. One time I was walking home from school, and these three girls at least two years younger than me came up to me (don't take offense to anything i'm about to say) and they were all minorities. They bombarded my with pamphlets and asked if I wanted to hear the story of "Our lord christ" as I was about to correct her and say "YOUR lord christ" she started talking..after her following me for fifteen minutes I got her away from me.

Walked away thinking "She has a reason to believe in something."

Atheism is a religion in itself, it doesn't just mean you don't believe in god/a god. I do hate religious persuasion however; so yes I hate it.

Atheism is not a religion, it's a lack thereof.

Hence the "a"-theism.

Herp.

It truly irritates me when someone says they'll "pray for me", or when they attempt to convert me to their beliefs, because it simply shows how arrogant they are.

Atheism is a religion in itself, it doesn't just mean you don't believe in god/a god. I do hate religious persuasion however; so yes I hate it.

Herp Durp.

Theism-Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world.

A-Not or without.

Put them together and you get....

Without belief in the existence of a god.

 

[Sara2thespaceman]

I vote no. Only because its entertaining to listen to them.:huh:
