Thread: Atheists: Have you ever had to listen to a Christian rant at you about what you...

...should believe?
Besides on here.
@ Anthony: Was that not on your computer?

It's funny, because I have read the bible and that's just another way to fortify my atheism.

yes and then i said hey god, the tooth fairy, santa claus, and a hobo saw five dollars in the street who picked it up? the hobo, the others don't exist

Not really but when I was in school I was forced to pray. That pissed me off to no end.

I tried, but then I got bored.

Yes... the most common problem I have is anytime I mention being an atheist, they invite me to church, or beg me to read the Bible

Some of them just can't understand that I'm an atheist because I simply don't believe, not because I just don't know any better, because I've never been to church

Yes. I was supposed to be enjoying the one spa day I take each year and I got a religious zealot for a pedicurist. I didn't say one word about religion until she asked me where I went to church. I was honest and told her I am an atheist so I don't belong to a church. She wasn't so nice to me after that and did a horrible job on my toes.

Yup.

I have had a number of christians try to preach to me when I have been out by myself (they don't have the courage to approach larger groups).
Each time I have just ignored them (I kept my mouth shut), and each time they have responded with a string of expletives.
This is the 'ideal' they are preaching.

Nope, at least not in real life.

However I did have a Mormon missionary get mad and yell at me because I didn't want to stop and listen to his proselytizing. But hey, I was on my bike and had headphones on. He should've noticed that I was occupied.

No I just walk away..
