[pendulum666]

Got someone like this at my work. They are obsessed with that thing where cards tell the future, and wierd star sign stuff. She goes into one every so often about it. I walk out the room.

Ask him sincerely if true christians can really forgive anything and turn the other cheek, when he says yes, punch him really hard in the nose, when he's recovered a bit, ask him if he really forgives you, if he says yes, punch him harder in the nose, repeat until he screams something like 'Jesus ******* Christ! Don't hit me again' then put your hand on his shoulder and say 'Bless you brother'.

Just tell him that you respect his views on his faith/religeon but he must also respect yours, it was a decision you made and its what you beleive in, if he still persists then tell him he will be reported for harassment if he doesnt stop. telling someone you will report for harassment will usually stop anyone

The most detailed description of dinosaurs in the Bible appears in Job 40:15-41:34. The first creature mentioned here, Behemoth, is a huge, herbivorous, four-footed beast with bones as strong as bronze (40:15,18). The obvious clue that this is not a hippo or an elephant (as often interpreted) is the description of its tail, which “he bends…like a cedar tree” (40:17). The cedars of the Middle East, such as the famous cedars of Lebanon, were very large trees.

Could be a Giraffe.

yeah, tell him he is the worst christian ever if he can't stop ramming his ideology down your throat, he should have been taught, from the bible as well as whoever preaches to him that it is wrong to bombard someone with something they do not want to hear.

 

[Megahurtz400]

Just say to him that the bible is a lie and worse than a childrens book for factual truth.

Thats what i told my RE teacher today

 

[oldbag]

Wonder what he'd say if you turned up with a t-shirt of the FreeBSD demon on it.

 

[Slinky1989]

...see, this is how I see it....

Are you one of those kids that thinks RE teachers are like priests?

Chances are they have no qualifications related to religion, and dont really care for it, they just are forced into teaching it by humanities department

He He, I bet you all non believers ( like me ) still celebrate christmas lol

My GF and her family are catholic. It sucks.

Let him convert you, go along to a few services then tell him you're thinking about becoming a jew.

In Geniuses 19:4-8 A group of sexually depraved men demands that Lot turn over to them his two male visitors. Lot offers his two virgin daughters instead.

So I can now turn my daughters over to rampant mobs of sexually depraved men?!? Excellent!

Please, please tell me that was an intentional misspelling?

And I'd presume you cannot if your daughters do not consent, saying "it was in the Bible" hasn't been a good defence for quite a few years now and facilitating the rape of your daughters is probably going to put you pretty low down the prison hierarchy I'd guess.

She was breifing us on how fun and exciting her religius studies degree was the other lesson

She did that and Women power or something, oh how i laughed/mocked.

My Fiancee winces when she sees a Mormon come up to me on the street

i find it screamingly funny to pick holes in their attempts at conversion (Or, if I'm not in the mood or in a hurry, abuse them loudly... got a round of applause once!)

I have yet to find another Religion that won't take "no thanks mate" or similar for an answer, and as such, i leave alone.

I'm sure FatRakoon off these forums can tell you about the time I rid him of the mormons

 

[Vonhelmet]

RAH RAH RAH IGNORE THE PROOF FAITH DICHOTOMY RAH RAH RAH.

 

[peetee]

haha, wow a RS teacher that actually wants to teach that, she'll be locking herself in the cupboard having breakdowns in years to come tbh.

I left some porn on before and when i realised who was at the door i turned it louder and then answered. I thought it was pretty funny cos it was an old man, a middle aged man, and a little lad. And they still tried to preach to me with a woman screeming in the background haha. Oh plus they commented on the fact there was a lock on the door, if everyone was religious i wouldnt need a lock they said. OK then.

Had to slam door and run upstairs to turn off the filth tho cos me dad pulled up into the drive haha!

LOL. I am the same, I am of an age that I no longer care what people think of me and have no inhibitions in public, couple that with a a reputation for always saying what I think and you have a dangerous cocktail of bad behaviour right there! My misses is also a little worried when she is unfortunate enough to be in public with me at the same time as there are nutters in the area.

So religion gets mentioned in the OP and it breaks down into this argument again. it happens time and time again and its never resolved. it cant be resolved. whats more, does it matter? why do you have to believe in SOMETHING? why stress over it? Its like pirates vs ninjas. Its pathetic.

I respond in the way I do quite simply, because i do not want religion, of ANY kind, shoved down my throat. if I want to know about a religion, then i will pack myself off to a church/mosque/temple/whatever. Unlikely to happen, but nevertheless, it's my choice.

I don't go around spouting about being an Atheist. Most other preachers etc, will accept a simple and polite "no thanks" or similar. If they do not, then they get treated in exactly the same way, regardless of what they happen to believe in.
