Hey everyone, I am a Deist currently. I just spoke over a course of 2 days with 2 christians about how they are using fear mongering by saying ( If you don't believe, you are going to hell.) They say they are not fear mongering but trying to save me. It is really affecting my health.
They are trying to "save me" but really they are pushing me further away by basically threatening me with the you don't believe= hell. kinda down right now don't know what to do  .

Sometimes, it's not as easy as it looks. These impulses of mine in waiting to stop them from using fear tactics to others don't have to suffer are kinda hard to suppress.

If you are new here welcome.
Just ignore them. From my vantage point they don't know what the Hell they're talking about anyway. Or could respond with "and jesus wept".
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

You could respond with "Go Blow Jesus Out Your Ass," too. Depends on the circumstances but they sound like the type who don't respond well to subtlety.

Yes I am new here, thank you for the welcome!
Man, ignore something this is hard :/. Normally, I don't go searching for it, but when something pops up on my front page that is about " The end of the world" related stuff, my impluses tell me to "Click it!" Fear, is a great weapon to use to get people to do what anyone wants you to do. When Christians do it, they do it using death and hell etc. Why can't they use a more civil way to tell me the "Word of God".
I think the bible is a bunch of made up stuff man made. I do believe a god exists, I just don't know what god that I know of, or has yet to be known. So you can say I am taking the neutral stand point.
"You could respond with "Go Blow Jesus Out Your Ass," too. Depends on the circumstances but they sound like the type who don't respond well to subtlety."
As much as I would like to say that, it would make atheists to look like dicks. As A deists with a neutral stand point, I try to be friendly as possible. However, sometimes, they take my nice attitude as I need god ( I am lost) etc.
Doesn't pay to be nice sometimes, not sure how to be angry :/. I am 95% a happy person LOL.

By all means, let them push you away.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Read that article which Catholic Lady posted about religion for the non religious.
At your age, it will give you insight as why they are the way they are!
Basically, their brains are a jungle, apparently!
