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.
