No Patience For Out Spoken Believers
September 16, 2014 at 1:20 am
(This post was last modified: September 16, 2014 at 1:20 am by LivingNumbers6.626.)
Should I sit quietly and listen to a Christian who insistant on how good their life is because of Jesus when they won't give a second thought about reciprocating the same kindness when I wish to share the joys of disbelief?
Should I allow obnoxious, fundemental believers to vomit their nonsense on a regular bases all over me when I can't even mention how cool science is?
Should I be kind and polite?
Right now, I feel as though I have no patience or sympathy for the outspoken believer. I find it best to alienate them all from my life. I'm interested in open conversation, not listening to a Sunday morning sermon. I can keep my atheism to myself, if you can't keep Jesus to yourself, then I say good riddance to you.
I will shut down your beliefs faster than you can say "the power of Christ compels you."
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'm tired of religion and would like to enjoy a day with a person who doesn't feel the need to save me. I just need to make more friends who are more interested in being human than being religious.

No you shouldn't have to put up with any of that, but at the same time, they need not put up with what you believe, its a two way street, no matter who is right and who is wrong.

Why on earth would you even want to listen to one of those shits?
They don't handle outright disrespect very well. Tell them you don't give a shit about jesus.

Rhythm nailed it. If you feel that the people in your life are making you uncomfortable due to their religious beliefs, you might do well to make a serious attempt to widen your circle of friends. Secular societies/clubs can be found nearly anywhere. Look into it.

Your not wrong at all. I find it very obnoxious that they insist on respect for their beliefs but don't do the same for others.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Do they know you don't believe? Are these one-on-one conversations, or are they talking to each other while you're present?
If they know you don't believe and continue to say these things to you, it shows a fundamental lack of respect for you.
If they're talking to each other and you happen to be around, there's not a lot you can do about that. You can question the things they say if you feel like getting into that, but there's a difference between them talking about it around you and to you.
Either way, feel free to bring up how awesome science is.
