Number one annoyance: They "bless" me every time I fucking sneeze.
Number two: They wait for me to "bless" them every time they fucking sneeze.
You know, i don't mind it when they say this. It's just their way of showing concern. I don't feel as thought they're trying to convert me when they (or anyone for that matter) says this.
I feel cared for when someone says this or gesundeit.

Someone just resorted to an ad-homenem. Logic fallacy here.
Twice.
It annoys me when Christians do nice stuff for me or towards me but I can see through it and realize they're trying to evangelize me.
Or when they try to push their beliefs on me when I don't ask them about their beliefs.
That annoys me too.

This is the argument I most agreed with.
I've seen many claims that religion has brought much harm to the world. While this is true:
-Religious arguments used in support of slavery
-justification for Manifest Destiny
-The spanish inquisition
-the Crusades
There are also many many secular wrongs that've been committed.
I would therefore argue that it is not religion that harms others but evil people acting on their own malicious impulses and doing what they want (sometimes this just involves twisting their belief system to fit what they want to do or justify it). And that the secular form of evils done, secular wars such as the iraq war, the millions that died under Stalin....were just another manifestation of this impulse within humans.
You know?
