Religious people can be annoying

I agree with you. This kind of topic is not about religion per se but this is for the people who would really say all about God. What I mean is that you'll be pestered when you hear someone "God has another plan for you", "God will bless you more". It's kinda bit a nuisance if they'll always mention the name of God.

I don't believe in just one god but i try to be open minded about it. i don't like be preached to. I found that most people can not just talk it's the biggest topic in the world and no one see things the same. it should be respected but it tends not to be. I do feel smiler to how u worded this. I think People should be ok with differences it's what makes the world great. Like some people can cook some can wright. but you can not have one with out the other it takes lots of people to make a community. with that said it also means that we need to respect each other. we need to try to under stand each other to be odd "walk a mile in some Else's shoes"

Christians and other religious can be wonderful people and very sincere in their beliefs. Even so, they are still human like everyone else. Here are some reasons why they are sometimes annoying. When a person has a sincere, new-found faith they are often amazed at what they are learning and surprised that they have never heard it before. Like most people, when we have something in our life that is exciting, we want to talk to everyone about it. Some people are in the habit of discussing religious (spiritual) issues. They prefer to do this as opposed to discussing the nitty gritty problems of the real world we live in. Yes, religion can be used as an escape from the unpleasant parts of our day to day lives. Whenever we are doing most of the talking in a conversation, we need to ask ourselves if that is appropriate. Usually, we should be doing more listening than talking. Any person can forget to make this assessment.

I understand where you are coming from. Sometimes, the conversations do get old. I don't like it when someone wants to quote a bible scripture to me, and I have no idea what they are talking about. It does no good to quote anything verbatim if you not help your listener understand what it means. Now, I don't have a problem with religion, or having religion in your life. That's fine. It doesn't work for me. The problem I have is when people are bent on shoving it down my throat. I don't shove my thoughts or beliefs down your throat. I know a lot of people that do this on a regular basis. I gave it a try, but it is something that I didn't like, mostly because I didn't understand it. It is probably ignorance on my part. To me, it feels like a sign of conformity, and I am not the type of person to conform. I never understood how they let someone or something dictate their life, and everything they do. It almost feels like slavery to me, but if that path has granted you a good life and all good things, then that's fine. I lost quite a few friends because they found out I didn't go to church, therefore something was wrong with me. I tried church, but it wasn't something I felt I could connect with. Also, for personal reasons, I have been barred from five churches in my area. Because of my ignorance in this area, I avoid those kind of topics. If someone speaks about it, I will listen. I try not to respond because I think anything I may say would be offensive, and condescending.

I'm Christian too but I don't talk about my beliefs at all. There are people who are little too passionate about their religion to the point they will try to bring it up in almost every conversation. That's why in my country, religion is never involved in any news or in the media. All the talk about God I can get from church already, one whole hour seems a lot to me but also to have people preach to me again! I have a friend who is pretty passionate and it does get pretty annoying sometimes. She tends to judge everyone, from music to what you believe in. She's pentecostal, meaning she sings her beliefs through music. I have my own Christian beliefs too but some of my friends are also Buddhist or atheist so I hardly ever bring up my religion in conversations because there will be disagreements and what's the fun in that? I believe that religion is a personal thing and we shouldn't bring it up too much to other people who are non believers. Some religious people get a little too serious in what other people believe.

I don't pretend to know what your really trying to say here unless it is that you have had enough of people trying to force their views on you. If that is the case then those people don't realise that if the people they are talking to don't believe as they do no amount of forceful talk will change them. It is said that 2 discussions that should never be had by people of opposing views are religion and politics.http://www.mylot.com/images/emotes/thumbup.gif

Yes, that's fair enough to feel that way. Too often we find discussions on theories, beliefs & lots of Bible quotes, but very little practical applications for day to day living. People seem content just to discuss these things without taking them one step further. Often, we also find there are multiple "camps" established in such discussions, like the "I agree" camp, which goes so far as to point out the areas they agree on, but that's where it ends, sadly. Then there's the "I disagree" camp which often has a problem with the whole line of reasoning of the topic opener. They say why they disagree & on which points, but become exhausted with the effort & practical realities do not get discussed either, or it may be too uncomfortable for such things to be raised. There are occaisionally others which have a whole other approach to the topic, which is good if you like a story & it sort of breaks things up a bit & changes (maybe!) our way of looking at the issue. Then there are the jokers who take a more liberal, light-hearted approach to the whole thing, which can be done very well, but sometimes can backfire. Perhaps it's laziness, or lack of creativity in these particular discussions, or maybe people are so busy trying not to offend others that no real progress can be made. So here's your chance.... what sort of discussions exactly would you like to have on here? What sorts of topics within these categories would you like to see? Give us some examples. Show us how you'd like us to respond to some existing discussions so that you'd be interested in participating.

The fundamental question to ask yourself is what is the be-all and end-all for you being on earth. Is this just a stroll to enjoy and disappear into thin air thereafter, or an opportunity to learn about your Maker and see how He would want you to be reconciled to Him and do His will. God talk is boring, but life without God can be dangerous. Don't just God-talk. Talk with God instead. It might be more interesting.

You know, you have feeling that because Satan can use that weakness, you said you don't want to hear talking about God. I am always sharing the true God to glorify Him and and for the good of people.You have feeling of saying that because satan is always there behind you and speak says do not like those people who talk God.Satan don't want people to listen God but to Satan alone...! Those who are truly saved,believe God always welcome to hear Gods message..
