Attack or retreat?

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Very good point Padriac but definitely not what I meant!

OK.I may have misunderstood; I was commenting on what you actually said..

The thing that REALLY PISSES ME OFF is when I read Facebook updates from friends saying things like "I am nothing without God". Most of my friends are Christians and litterally believe everything in the Bible. I really feel the urge to confront them and tell them the truth about religion like:

THAT is not the behaviour of a friend.(on either side) Friends accept and respect each other as is, which includes agreeing to differ about some things,which may include politics and religion.


Getting pissed off with some stranger who gets in your face is another matter entirely. I loathe and despise proselytisers of any kind. (that includes aggressive atheists) .

If I feel put upon:IE my privacy/ personal space is invaded or I feel disrespected, I will say something,often quite unkind. Not remotely interested in attempting to change what passes for the mind of such people. I just want them to shut the fuck up and get out of my face. I will walk away if I can (eg In a public place)

With any luck they will be run over by a passing tank on their way to their next annoyance. (it's probably too much to hope that they spontaneously combust; I understand that's a myth)


PS My Facebook account (Tarquin Shagasty) is far too boring for anyone to bother making comments.
