I'm beginning to hate religious people.

[Doubting Thomas]

And if they actually want to make people more open to the Christian philosophy, they shouldn't be pestering strangers just trying to go about their day as that tends to have the opposite effect.

I'll never, ever understand why the evangelical types don't get this. I understand that they think they have a mission to save as many souls for God as possible, but they just seem completely oblivious to the fact that they're being completely ineffective at it. I don't know if it feeds into their persecution complex when people rudely brush them off, but you'd think if they really wanted to save people's souls they'd find a different way to do it. Shouting bible verses on a street corner or trying to pass out pamphlets to people who don't want to be bothered is not the way to win converts, let alone knocking on people's doors at 8 AM on a Saturday morning.
