I am SICK of being evangelized!

Post Reply New Topic

i can relate; when our Child Was Born with so many Problems and obviously not Likely going to survive for very
Long, unless some kind of Miracle Happened; somehow, a Deacon from the Catholic Church i had not attended
for 7 Years, found Our Hospital Room Number Telling me he had the Authority to Say the Baby was never gonna
get to Heaven, unless He came and sprinkled some water on his head; let's put it this way; that was the
Least of my Worries; or the Baby's Worries for that Matter too; Ignorance is Ignorance still Ignorance
As Science Shows Humans Are Not Rational First; Almost
everything Points
to that fact
of Human
Reality Now;
pretty much a 3 Ring 'Orange' Circus;
Yeah; that Sticks in my Mind 'Little Man
Dude' saying He has the Authority to tell
Babies Where to Go after they Suffer and Die if
they do not comply With His 'Imaginary' Authority Over Them.
Humans Dream up Incredibly Horrible Nightmares and do their best to Spread them into Reality now.

Ain't Drinking none of their 'Cult-Aid'...

You dislike this? So the OP does ...

Smiles; i think you missed my Sarcasm that is subtly indicated
at the beginning of my first comment with quotes around 'Love' and
and the further explanation below it. That's Okay; i should have been more clear
from the beginning; i get Subtle Sarcasm and provide it; not everyone does; particularly here.
And i do realize that English is not everyone's first Language here; that presents a challenge too.

i was born on June 6th, 1960; where on my Driver's
License three sixes existed with 6.6.60 printed on the Card.

The People Here in my locality are so afraid of Three Sixes in a row from some
Free Verse really strange Poetry someone wrote Thousands of Years ago then in
'their Revelation Book'; that when i used to buy a beer every now and then at the Local
Walmart; the Cashiers related Fear back to me, when they saw the three sixes for my Birth Date
as they carded me for my age up until my 40's. Hehe; now at close to 60 they finally Judge me in my 40's;
but i don't drink a beer now and then; as it only takes me down a notch from a Stress-Free Life Now for Real.

What i dislike the Most is the Hypocrisy; some of the Teachings in what is ONLY A STORY about
a Dude named Jesus are Healthy as far as Loving other Folks; and Basically Just Altruistically getting
Along with other People that Humans are Good at doing; as Anthropology Shows in Small Groups that
Are Homogenous with Folks Working, Giving, and Sharing Freely Together; not against each other; they get along;
Even Bonobos Manage this with 'Free Love' Very Well; unless invading Ape Tribes come into the Picture of their Life.

Very rare is it where i am from; that a 'Trade Mark Christian' Actually Walks the Talk of their 'Beloved Teacher'; the excuse
is oh well; i am a Sinner and my 'God Man' Forgives me as long as i believe he rose from The Dead; and in the case
of Catholics, literally Drink His Blood and Eat His Body at Communion Each Week; i think that is a Poorest
Excuse to be an awful person every week, until one asks for forgiveness that i've ever heard of; it's not that
Hard to Be nice to people consistently; just takes Practice, Patience, with inner Motivation to do it; In general,
Religions and Churches Glue Group Think Together; but discard those they see as different as Basically Garbage;
in effect; no matter what they may say differently from 'the pulpit'.

Anyway; Anthropology was one of my Three Degrees in College; along with Social Sciences Interdisciplinary;
and Health Science; Religion is one of my many Special Interests in Life; and basically i come here to do my
'Little Professor' Monologues in Free Verse Poetry style as that is my Special Interest as well.

i don't expect anyone to like me; or enjoy what i have to say here; i just come here to be who i am.

i usually end up only having me to talk to; and i've become Good Friends with 'that person' who is willing to
sit and listen. i realize how Strange i am; how Different; and indeed by the record how extraordinary i am
taking the documented effects of what i've literally accomplished in Life through Struggle; i don't like
Ignorance; and i don't sit quietly while other Folks Burn down the Nature of what is Beautiful in Life through
that Ignorance;

i am surely not going to save the Balance of Nature that is being Destroyed by Ignorance of Humans myself;

But i am surely not going to be one who sits silently by and watches it happen; just not my 'Normal Nature';

The People; yes, 'the Christians' who Put Trump in Office are indeed as much of a Danger to Nature as Trump is too;

Not because of who they are born to be; but just for the Ignorance that is still Propagated all over this Nation from
'the Pulpit' each week; I surely Understand where the OP is coming from; i'm just a Weathered Human Being from
the Ills that i have seen from 'Group Think Ignorance' and am fortunate enough to have thick enough skin to
express my different opinions with 'these People' face to face; and end up always being the Last Person standing
in the discussion; but true; chances are; hehe; they won't be precisely the same at least; Humans are Plastic for Change.

Ignorance has the Potential of Opening its eyes; i should know; i am raised in a Locality in the Panhandle of Florida
that held the record for the Most Churches per square mile; and also an area that still 'rabidly' supports Trump
at 85 Percent of the Populace here; This really says it all about How Effective 'Christianity' overall
is in Bringing Genuine Truth to the World in Light; not very effective at all; but it does keep the Locals
docile enough now; not to shoot each other; it's truly a fairly nice place to live; as long as you are not
different from the Group think. i am as different as 'they come'; but i do know how to Love now still and
'imitate' the 'True Spirit' of 'their God' (Love) That did NOT come from Church; That Came from my Mother;

As Far as i am concerned; my Mother was 'Jesus' for me; for me that word is Just a metaphor for Love.

i am not so foolish to believe that anyone from this locality would give a Very Brown and Syrian Looking
Dude from the Middle East, any notice; about Five Foot one and around 105 Pounds as the study of Paleontology
From that 'Time and Place' Suggests. In Fact, from where i live as History Shows some of the Folks Would Yell
'Shoot Him' At 'the Southern Border'; with their 'New Messiah Trump' Snickering and saying 'Only in the
Panhandle of Florida can you get away with that'. All of it Disgusts me; But it is the Human Condition

in dark it is what is...
'who made who'; Humans make it
what it is; Nightmares or Fabulous Dreams come True of Love.

People will do better; if and when they lift the Veils of Ignorance;

By the Way; the Original Greek Definition of Apocalypse is Literally 'Lifting the Veils of Ignorance.'

Life is so ironic; truly the Sarcasm is Built in all Naturally too; if and when folks do actually Wake up to Truth in Light;

Just another Monologue; just another expression of Freedom; easy enough to scroll 'bye'; and surely a challenge to read.

i've always loved challenges;

'Evangelicals' are definitely a Challenge; hehe.

Life is a Challenge; c'est la vie; it is up to me to be me.

The Rest of it comes and goes.....

I also once got evangelized when I was in a shopping plaza. My dad and I sat down somewhere to wait for my mom and sister and two men from a nearby church came over and sat with us. Problem was, my dad was raised Baptist and he had to engage these guys in some religious talk. (He's non-practicing now.) So you basically had me, a teenage girl, just sitting there awkwardly while three grown men discussed the Bible. Obviously, neither me nor my dad ever joined said church considering who knows what would happen if we did.

That was at least months before all of this crap with my friend seeking to convert me. So this kind of stuff isn't really new to me.

It seems religous proselytism is quite triggering for you. I wonder - is it more triggering than e.g. people sharing their political views with anyone they can talk to? People do such stuff all the time.

That situation you described doesn't happen to me very often at all, but even then, I would say it is either less or equally triggering.

Thing is, I like to study religion but not necessarily follow one. It isn't to confirm my own lack of religion, but rather because it's a major lifestyle change that would take me forever to adjust to.

That's totally OK. I'm glad that religion wasn't a thing where I grew up.

I like to study it as well; it's interesting. However, if there is a true religion, we would be bound to follow it. If there is no true religion then we would not be. Making a decision on religion is a necessity. Lifestyle changes are not easy, though--but self-motivated ones seem easier sometimes.

I agree with you both. It can be quite uncomfortable if a person keeps trying to get you to live life through their eyes in that way.
