Welcome to Gaia! ::

'sympathy from a christian' is what i could call my average trip to london, oxford street used to be a preacher hot spot, along with the preachers corner in... hyde park i believe. And in my home(ish) town of aylesbury we had the preacher complete with the 'jesus saves' sandwich board.
I was with a group of friends and was confronted by this man, it was quite interesting but i think he knew he was wasting his time within half a minute of short conversation.

Sounds like what I'm going through now. Mormons I've met tend to become a bit of a nuisance after a while. The only problem with their explanations is the approach. Everything they say requires faith in order for it to be classified as a truth (neglecting any plausible evidence to support said truth). One of my school's Chemistry professors is Mormon, and of course, the one who I'm having all these discussion with goes ahead and tells the damned guy to get involved and to come visit me to talk about it more in-depth. I nearly flipped a brick. Although, she also happens to be a good friend of mine, I simply can't stand one more lunch period having all these empty discussions with her. In short, their approach is all too wild and OMGSOLETSTALKJEHOVALOL. It's best to befriend Wiki and learn from it. It won't give you weird looks and hours-on-end rants about how "it's not GOD, it's JEHOVA!1!!" or anything - just cold, hard facts (at least that's what they're taught to be wink ).

Well, not every Christian is the same. They do have their own passion about what they believe in, and well let's face it: the bible teaches the principles of evangelizing. Radicals dictate whatever possible understatement with the means of defying the person being approached and boldly soiling that person's own ideals with their own. It's their preordained nature to do so. If not, they'll feel the burning guilt of the d33p fyrez of He11 and will then feel the need to masochistically repent. Of course, these are the uber-religious folks who don't know the meaning of cultural diversity. I know many Christian folks who know how to have a nice, long, and enjoyable convo without the need for some religious revolution.

@ Rii: What Satanic denomination do you fall under? I don't recall you mentioning it within the application.

My parents are christians and I've grown a tolerance for their repetitive; "You must go to church and pray to god. It's because of this demonic bullshit your picking up on the inter web these days, that is making you sick in the head. Remember that god is your savior, only he can bless you". My parents are the only christians I have to put up with everyday, so christian propaganda isn't really working on me too well.

Never gotten this myself, mainly because I'm never at home when the door-to-door preachers or whatever come around. I'm surprised no one has approached me on the street yet, but it would certainly be an...interesting...encounter if they did. One of my close friends is pretty hardcore Catholic, but she never gives me crap about being Satanist, Pagan, and whatnot. I'm kind of glad it hasn't happened to me yet, because I would have a difficult time controlling myself depending on how obnoxious they're being. I would probably just end up going for shock value and attempt to convince them that not only am I a Satanist, but that I am also in the process of getting a female to male sex change and that I'm gay on top of that. Something along those lines, just to piss them off.
