I am starting to hate religious people and worry about it.

Yes, but more in a "I can't believe anyone would believe that crap!" eye-rolling sort of way.

The best defense is a strong offense and I pull no punches if anyone engages. Calling their religious nonsense for what it is: modern mythology worship and homey don't do mythology as if it were a serious pursuit.

Usually that will shut them up.

If not, there is also pepper spray.

I get so riled inside that I can hardly stand it. Does anyone else ever feel like this?

Please don't hate me, I'm going to say what the people you speak of feel, okay. These people do what they do because of love, it's a Christian love, they actually care about you, if they didn't why would they bother. If your eternal life as far as they are concerned is in dire straits, is it wrong of them to care. If it's okay then is it wrong of them to try and help you. That is their mind set. I do not know how they are approaching you and how they are going about their witness, so some may be coming on to strong, but it is from their heart.
If you do not want to hear from them, ask them to stop, tell them they are causing you to dig yourself into a deeper hole to protect yourself from them. Do this nicely you will find they will listen better if you do not challenge them.
Now for my advice, which by the way will be attacked by the atheist here because they believe I have no right to give you advice. Well I do and here it is, I do not know if you've ever read the Bible, but I suggest you do, the New Testament, see if it's God who is speaking to you through His Holy Spirit, be honest with yourself, if it's not the Holy Spirit then God's not ready to reach out to you, but be sure because God doesn't give unlimited opportunity. This i all I will say to you, the rest is between you and God.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I am sure my post sounded like I hated them all, I had just been "cornered" by a super Christian person. I only feel like screaming when them. I think The facebook thing bugs me because they all know I am not a believer and post that shit on my page anyway.

Block them and set your permissions to friends-only.

ITT: GC once again claims to know what other people think... even when he doesn't know them at all! That's a mighty superpower you've got there, GC!

I'm with you there. Being passive atheist isn't enough in my opinion. I am increasingly calling this bollocks for what it is in public and will continue to do so.

If you are hating people because of their beliefs, you should really ask yourself about your own beliefs, are you really comfortable in your beliefs ?.
