Leave them! What is stopping you to leave? Tension is always given, and not taken!

You ask a question here, it's open to all. Typical that you seek to control what you don't like to confront. Thing is, I DO care if some busybody gets me out of my armchair or stops me in the street out of a sense that I am wrong about everything and they are right about everything. So I don't care if you don't want to read what I have to say, that's not the sort of forum this is.\n\nAnd don't evangelize. Distrtibute food parcels, do something for the homeless, drug addicts, refugees, battered women, children with cancer, elderly day care or something that is of actual value to other people, and not just your ego. We'll choose your way of seeing things if we want to. Otherwise just go away.

If I have to choose between the two, I would say the Preachy one is worse.\nPersonally, I rather deal with the patronizing one, because I know what I would be dealing with, than the sweet holier than thou preachy one.

things that happen in the world are echoes of what's been happening for a long time. Once a ball gets rolling it takes conscious effort to stop it. (I appreciate your sentiment. Even if the effort for peace is not successful, every little bit helps).

Today has been full of very interesting questions.... this one no exception.\n\nIf the shoe were on the other foot, would you heed the advise not to go?

everyone will stop trippin' over their religious differences and judgin people and just live in peace and help out their neighbor no matter their faith. ...people well stop preaching too. \n\nall this is the only way we'll have peace in the world...oh and quit buying overly processed foods and not realizing that unconscious choices as consumers contribute to the exploitation of many people in the world.

oh yes! the way we are goin there is no other end... the problem we have is lack of tolerance and i doubt anything short of heavenly intervention(not happening btw) can stop this bitter end which is a testimony to the inadequecy of the human race...

i'm not one of those people you described but i'm wondering why do you go to this site and ask people their opinion if you are not willing to listen to what they want to say? stay away or be respectful of the beliefs of others. go figure! peace, love & unity. cheers!

I suggest doing what you want without the opinions or influences of other people getting in your way. "basically make up your own mind and be yourself". However in most cases sucides are more cowardly then courageous and i would not do it. But thats just my opinion. (somewhat of a brain twister huh?)

Move away from the source.

I won't bash a fellow Pagan, but I agree that we should rise above, not rise against. Why should we lower ourselves to petty insults and bashing? If we are angry or hurt because others have attacked us, we should not seek to become that which has caused us pain. To carry that negativity around with us is far more harmful than to walk away and leave it at its source.

There's no danger in that, if by interceding you mean praying for them.  I wouldn't run up and tackle them or knock them out with a Bible first, but prayer is powerful.  To those who are offended by anyone who wants to share their faith:  Wouldn't it be more offensive if someone knew of the one and only way to bring meaning to your life and carry it into eternity yet refused to share it with anyone? If someone really loves and cares about you enough to tell you what they know to be the truth- the truth that could set you free from a world of hurt- that should be appreciated rather than scorned, even if you don't take it to heart.

On the other side, on the contrary
