Who is the assholiest Theist you've met in REAL LIFE?

I would say the one who kept stepping in my way when I tried stepping around him and ended up putting his hand on my shoulder to stop me walking away.

About 12 years ago, riding on public transit, the guy in the seat in front of me was haranguing everyone about Jeebus. When they'd tuned him out he turned on me, interrupting my reading. I thought a simple "I'm not a believer" would do the trick, but no, he kept badgering me about going to hell until I told him that if he didn't leave me alone I was going to pull him off the bus and work him over.

Also, when my sister was in her born-again phase, she was pretty fucking annoying, but we grew past it.

A good friend of mine, a true party animal went to a catholic gathering and came out... a complete nutjob. He knows I am an atheist and said he will pray for me. WTF is wrong with people? As the good honest friend I am, I told him to stick his prayers up his ass. Funny that catholics consider pride a mortal sin when they are the ones most full of it. Oh well. Good friends do not pray for me, they help me as I help them.

I also had one on the train here in NZ a while back.

We pulled into a station, and I had several stops to go, when this guy stood up and said, "Hey everyone, I'd like to talk to you about Jesus."

I stopped him before he could really start and told him it was after 5pm on a Friday evening and all everyone wanted to do was get home without having someone push their religion on them.

He started to protest but I just told him no one was interested and he shut up and sulked in the corner.

I’m sure there’s a few people on here that know of my father already. He’s one of the main reasons I first came on here. I desperately needed to vent about religion, and have an escape. There was some sort of vicarious release that I had when I heard people freely talking about religion, because of the suffocating situation that I was in. He’s easily the biggest asshole of a theist that I’ve ever met.

I was heavily indoctrinated by one of the biggest assholes you could possibly imagine. It was his way or the highway. He never could do wrong, praying was more important than spending quality time with his family. The time he did spend was always ranting and raving about religion or politics. He always tried to start fights with everyone or pick on them for any little thing he could find, everyday. When I was growing up, every time I wanted to go out and play or do something, he always made sure I prayed a certain amount of time first, or prayed the rosary or whatever. I almost couldn’t even wake up and eat breakfast in the morning without him asking (demanding) me if I prayed. He’s one of the most negative, narcissistic, controlling people you’d ever meet. No matter what you do, it’s wrong. You’d try your whole life to please the man, but nothing would make him happy. No matter who you’d see or what you’re plans are, they’re always wrong. He’s the type that thinks the world is ending right around the corner, and that only catholics will be saved. He judges gay people like crazy, and thinks they’re making a choice to rebel against god. He thinks every muslim is evil, he loves FOX and thinks everything they say is truth (shocker). He thinks every democrat is a liar, and every republican is perfect. I could go on forever. Almost any negative trait you could possibly think of, would be attached to his character.

He is pretty much out of his fucking mind, but at the same time when he meets people outside of his house or outside of his family, he can be a nice person with a sense of humor. Just another reason, that he pisses me off so much. That he’s capable of being a good person, but chooses to be an absolute prick 99% of the time.

I’m glad I got away recently. I don’t need that shit in my life anymore.

LOL that describes me well. Just wait till we meet in real life

Wow.  Look at all the responses saying that they've never met an asshole Theist IRL.  Wow.  Where do you guys live?  Can I move there and crash on your couch while I look for an apartment?  Wow.

I've met so many I'm having a hard time choosing between them.  Before I graduated from high school I had encountered two (Protestant, married with children) preachers who made a pass at me in their office.  (Thankfully there were people outside of the office each time, so a solid "stop!" and a threat of screaming got me out the door.)  We learned later that one of 'em had gotten nearly 1/2 of the 7th grade girls pregnant.  

There was the idiot minister who kept showing videos that "proved" the Devil recorded backwards messages in rock records.  Or the idiot minister who insisted that we pray using "thee and thou" and "sayest" and "giveth" because that was the way Jesus spoke.

Honorable mention goes to the guy handing out Bible tracts in the parking lot.  I removed the tract under my wiper blade, handed it back to him, and told him to use it on another car - "I'm an atheist".   As I was pulling out of the parking lot, he came running at my car and broke the windshield with a baseball bat, screaming something about how I was going to burn in hell.   

Oh yeah, those are just the first few to pop into my head.

He broke your windshield? You should have sued him.

Candace, from high school. She was the second person I informed that I was gay.

What a huge mistake.

Minister that conducted Brian's service.

Hands down worst assholiest shitbag preechur I've yet encountered. Had I better understanding of my feelings for Brian at the time, the authorites never would have found his remains, or been able to ID them if they did.

You have officially won my heart, though I am certain we both agree that a heart cannot be won and that I mean your respect has been earned.

I think there are some details of me you guys should be aware of because I notice that a lot of your "theistic encounters" include some of my characteristics:

**I'm a Creationist, anti-abortion pro-life, anti-homosex, Republican, right-wing, FOX news lovin, anti-femenist, anti-communist, anti-mass-immagration, capitalist, anti-communist, ultra conservative, Jesus obsessed lad who gets dropped off into town twice a month and street preaches on the sidewalk about mostly "Repentance, Hell, Salvation" and distributes Jesus tracts. In addition, I've been called on many times by people who told me I was judgemental and a "westboro" wannabe.**

But the best part is that I live in India at the moment and not the UK, so you don't have to worry about encountering me.
So sorry for ruining my rep in front of you guys. But all the same, I do pray that you guys go into heaven and live a good life though and blah blah blah
