Sick and tired of people preaching about god?

I think we should start banging on church doors in the middle of services and saying 'Would you like to become a ____?'\n\nMight be fun, piss a few people off.

Pascal's wager is indeed tired and old.  Yes, we're sick of it.  What is particularly sad, is that people still buy the idea that they are better "safe than sorry."  I feel sorry for those who subscribe to belief in this way, and I've sure seen alot of them in Y!As.  They waste their lives, money and energy.

No offense, but they don't have to listen either. You are supposed to have freedom of religion (at least Christians have that in this country!) and freedom of speech (gone is this right!) but it doesn't mean people have to listen to you.

Too many people think that they speak for god. When actually they only speak for their own murderous selves and use god to justify their actions.

Yes, I'm sick of it.\n\n"Are you happy?"\nYes, very much so.  I have a loving husband, a beautiful son, walls all around me and a roof over my head.  My son has toys, food, clothes, protection, love, everything he needs.  I have friends, I have hobbies, I have talents, I have conversations.  I'm quite happy.\n\n"Do you have good morals?"\nYes I believe I do.  Some may not agree with me on political points, but generally I've been characterized as a very moral person.  Mind you, these were mostly Christians who told me I'm moral so I think I've demonstrated a solid morality at least to those who hold atheists to a particularly higher standard.\n\n"How on earth is that possible if "God" isn't a part of your life?"\nContrary to popular belief, happiness and contentment is attainable without the Christian God.  I know several Buddhists, Wiccans, atheists, agnostics, even a couple Satanists, who are good, moral, happy people.  They require no Judeo-Christian deity.\n\n"Do you find that thinking slightly ridiculous?"\nOh, not just slightly.  HUGELY.

PLEASE, right now you are going overboard. It's not nice to be insulted, and I simpathize. But best thing to do now is ignore those writing bad comments. If you stopped fighting back(I know it's hard) it would show these people that you have self-control, and that you're a mature Christian that leans on God and doesn't get taken in with these questions. Please, please stop this foolish fighting, if GypseyQueen reads this, please just agree to disagree stop antagonizing each other!

how about instead of possibly risking someones anger and turn off to the christian life, you stay quiet and just pray... trying to tell someone to be christian and bombarding them with information gets you nowhere but in a huge rant war, you should just pray... and God will take care of the rest.. and when a person wants to know things, answer their questions to the best of your ability.... don't push it on them, have faith in OGd that He will show them the way when the time is right.... all in GOd's time my friend in Christ, all in God's good time

I think it is horrible that people of any faith would post such nasty comments. I am a believer in God, but do not call myself a Christian. I have had bad experiences with them like yours. These people are not being very good Christians as they are going against a lot of what the bible teaches, ie tolerance and not judging others. You should ignore these people and keep asking questions. It is how we learn and understand.

I don't know, I don't get it either. What's the big deal? There are a lot of things people like to complain about I guess, and God is one of them. It's sad.

The whole problem is your reliance on god. Instead of going to church go out and do something about these problems. Don't set here and complain

I am concerned.Preaching hellfire and brimstone is not always going to be the best way to start off a conversation.Every single one of us are different.Some people go off at the mere mention of Jesus Christ or all religions for that matter.Then some are willing to here what some people say with an open mind.Some people who witness to others don't always think out what their going to do,and how their going to do it.Some people are given the gift of bringing souls to Christ.Some stumble when they try.\n\nPeople that witness to others cannot and will not ever be able to make someone believe.There holy mandate is to bring the gospel to the masses,and have grace when doing so.Not everybody can find that fine line.\n\nNext time someone witnesses to you,and you feel their wrong.Tell them to stop,and to remember the way Jesus did it.He did it with grace,love,and adhering to his father's law.\n\nPeace be unto you.

Its little wonder that people today are not interested in the things of the Lord as we are told that in the last days man will be ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth and man will not want to retain any knowledge of God in their minds. These same people are quick to blame God or everything yet don't want to know him when they are not experiencing any problems. From my personal experience the real problem is getting people to firstly accept that they need a savior as they have a condition in them that condemns them to hell and they seem oblivious to this. The condition is called "sin in the flesh" and its this condition which ultimately sends them to hell unless they come Gods' way and accept Jesus as their savior and become born again. Judging from the answers you have already received, it is apparent that the vast majority are still totally in the dark when it comes to this critical issue. Many are content to carry on as though they will be O.K. as they live good lives and do good deeds whilst they are unaware that it is their inner condition which will result in their final destruction. All we can do is keep praying for "all men everywhere"

Don't worry about it.  Lots of folks are rude these days.  Email me about a pastor I know; wow have I got stories to tell.

I think they are here to ask questions that will probably shake up someone weak in their faith, they want to break down, and poke holes into what we believe. They call it opening our eyes to what's Logical, I simply view it as fulfilling the prophecy in God's word. I don't know about you but they increase my faith every time they try and provoke doubt, condemn our faith, put us on trial for our beliefs, crack jokes about our faith, and most of all spread the message of disbelief in God. What I truly can not understand is if they really do not believe why do they even bother, I have said it once and I will say it again I DO NOT believe in Smurfs so there for I do not seek out people who do in order to try and change their minds. But to each his own live and let live, preach on Atheist preach on.....

yah....It pisses me off because alot of "christistians" are full of sh*t. They talk about god and preach this and that, then they live and act the complete opposite. It makes it feel like any kind of christianity is really bull sh*t, like everything else in this world. Maybe it is.

The answer above mine is a prime example of why people are so ticked off.   \n\n"won't confine my religion (christianity), to the religious section. I will not stop doing what God commanded christians to do."\n\nSo, that means you'll run around every section of Yahoo preaching your religion?  And people wonder why others are angry.  There are many, many sections here where religious posturing has no place.  When you take to preaching to people just becuase, then you're spamming and that's not right.  \n\nPersonally, I wish that some people would stay out of questions that have nothing to do with Christianity.  I don't answer biblical questions with a sermon on my faith and I'd like the same in return.   Unfortunatley, as some have proved, they will continue to spam any and all sections with their religious beliefs because they think they're doing something right.
