The other day I got stopped 3 times by evil-doing Christians trying to get me to convert. THREE times in one day. "Uh, excuse me, do you know Jesus?"
I swear, next time I'm going to say...
"Yes, I know Jesus. He was a very nice man. But I've already been saved, bless the Prophet. Allahu Akhbar!" |

I just be honest with them. Tell them I do not believe in magic, that Jesus has long been dead, and that people who need religion are weak-minded and simplistic. Usually after all that, people are struggling so hard to maintain the friendly facade that they can't speak, so I'm free to walk away.
Another funny thing to do, which I haven't tried yet but want to, is to slap the bible out of their hands. That would be cathartic. Just hope it doesn't end up the same way as when Atahuallpa tried that move awhile back. |

I dont have anywhere near enough Korean to take part in a conversation, so I just make little devil horns on my head and keep walking. They seem to understand.

hmmm... have you ever reflected on why this irritates you and others so much that it is a regular topic here? Surely you believe everyone has the freedom to follow their own belief system... or...? Can't you just simply move on by? Interesting... |

I'm sure the OP recognises the right to freedom of religion. After all, the fact that Christians in missionary mode don't respect that right is precisely what makes it irritating. |

Few things bother me more than the preachers.
Sometimes I have wished I carried a knife.
I find the preachers extemely rude. But hey, they have all the answers, and if we heed not, hellfire and damnation awaits.
What a bunch of brainwashed jerks: Pretentious, sanctimonious jerks. |

Oh, I don't even do that. I just smile and say "Sorry, I don't speak English." It makes it even more confusing. |

Yeah there are few things in this world that I despise more than missionaries. The idea of going into an area uninvited and introducing the locals to notions of guilt, shame, sin, eternal damnation, and being good only to get rewards it just sickening. Your ways are wrong! Look at me! I'm so much better than you! Blech. |

I had one give me the finger yesterday. Then I laughed at her reaction, which made her very angry. I only wish I'd had a camera, maybe I could have had her excommunicated from her congregation.

Yes, I have reflected on this. Of course everyone has the right to believe what they want, but I should have the right to not have to spend my days refuting their drivel based on a 2000 year old storybook that they consistently (and often successfully) use to step on my rights. I don't force my lifestyle on them, and they shouldn't force theirs on me. |

| The foriegner-english speaking missionaries aren't nearly has bad as the Korean missionaries. At least with them I can have a short conversation that doesn't include God or religion. |
