It's creeping me out...throwing religion on someone?

How can i get rid of someone whos always trying to throw their religion on me or just change the direction of the conversation away from religion? Religious people, why do you try to spead/force your religion? (thats a serious question) Im not religious and dont wish to be. Theres something very shifty and phoney about it, and gives me a weird feeling. He even wrote down a religious site for me to visit but i just threw it away. And this isn't a friend of mine, just a peer in class %26amp; when they ask if i belive in god or if i know how to get into heaven it creeps me out. Religious people, what are your motives? your creeping me out

It's creeping me out...throwing religion on someone?
Their motives are to convert you. It's what they are "trained" to do. Ignore them. They will find another victim!
Reply:I never tried to convince anybody of what I believe in, and in fact I rarely bring up my beliefs. The only (bothering) thing that I do is that I try sometimes to show people that they are naive (for example when they deny the evolutionist theory, and they rather chose to believe the world was made in 6 days).





Everyone is annoyed by people pushing their beliefs into others, and questions like yours were asked a lot of times. My guess is, they think they are helping you by showing you "the truth"
Reply:Not all religious people try to force their religion on others, but it is annoying, eh? Have you turned down this guy in the most polite way you can? "Thanks for this, but I am not interested. I have my own religion (lie if you don't)."
Reply:Just be straight out with him. Say, "Look, I respect your beliefs, but I don't want you pushing them on me. I don't want to hear it anymore. Do not bring the subject up to me again."
Reply:That person is trying to "save" you. It's probably part of their religion to "spread the good news" - and make sure others don't "burn in hell."





Just tell them - I'm not interested. I'm asking that you respect my beliefs and not speak of yours to me. If they won't do what you ask - just stay far away from them.





Also - don't be surprised if they inform you that you will burn in hell if you don't listen to them.





Truly - their motives are good (they think) - and they just can't see how annoying it is for somebody who doesn't see it their way.





I found a religion about 6 years ago. But I try really hard not to push it on anybody - because just like you - for many years it creeped me out.
Reply:The more suckers they find , he more choice their seat in heaven will be.
Reply:I just say, " No, thank you" and "have a nice day."
Reply:Actually, knowing something about religion might help you give answers that will satisfy them that they won't convert you. Religion is really a quite shallow belief, and it doesn't take long to learn all the real answers to their superstitious questions.





The whole "love thy enemy" really translates to "try to convert them". As soon as they figure out you are not going to convert, they'll change to "don't throw pearls before swine".
Reply:tell them it's none of their business.





If they keep asking, ask them if they masturbate. Note that you find their question just as rude.
Reply:IMHO, the best form of defense is attack.





People who try to convert me end up having to answer a whole load of difficult questions about their religion. Especially if they believe that their holy texts are infallible.





The bible is full of inconsistencies (the last words of Jesus, his genealogy), ridiculous claims (PI=3.0, bats are birds, Joseph and Mary had to travel to Bethlehem for a census)





The concept of an all loving, all knowing and all powerful god that gives us free will is ridiculous when you think about the implications logically (How can there be free will? Why do innocents suffer when whatever Gods aim is he can achieve it in a different way.)





Many times people have left me with a 'I will have to get back to you on that' and then never do.





My highest compliment was to be described as 'dangerous' by a Catholic while discussing birth control. If birth control is a sin because you are stopping the chance that sperm and egg meet then, extending this argument logically, any girl past puberty not having sex is sinning because they are preventing the chance of their egg from being fertilized.





And why does an omnipotent and omnicognizant god cause miscarriages to happen. (The omni-s mean that he must cause it, either though action or inaction)








Just to make it clear, I do not go out looking for trouble, accosting people on their doorsteps or in the street. that would make me as bad as the people who do that to me. But if someone comes to me to try to force their belief on to me - then they must reap the whirlwind.
Reply:the best way i know of is what i do, or did. study the religion, this way you are aware of all that can discussed.


now that you know, there are too many unanswered questions, or questions that cant logically be answered,


Take those and debate them before long they wont want to discuss , because you know more.
Reply:just tell them that satan told you to do it and if they dont leave you alone youll tell him to kill them ...theyll freak out and not bother you
Reply:You are a free person so keep your freedom intact. You can read religious books as a subject like other subjects and can give befitting answer to anyone dragging you into discussion.
Reply:oh grow up and just ignore them, why do other human beings with different beliefs creep you out? Are they spouting horns? Just treat them with respect and tell them "no thanks" and walk away. Would you be so hostile to a group of people from the Red Cross trying for your participation in giving blood?
Reply:more converts = more money to their leaders. remember, religious folks....No means NO!!!!!
Reply:Misery loves company.
Reply:Our motivation is out of love for God and mankind, although when someone displays your attitude, it's best to leave them alone, there may be a life changing event in your life [then you will seek out God] or you will remain the same. Best left alone
