    I just watched a PBS special on Buddha. I don't know what to say about it other than he was a pretty chill dude.

    i think part of the reason i frown on razzing or trying to offend jehovah's witnesses and the like is because i think a lot of them, their heart isn't really in a bad place

    they believe what they believe, and even if you think they're wrong (i certainly do!) the fact that they are trying to get you into their thing means they want you to be there.

    they got compassion for their fellow man, want to see other people be "saved", etc.

    and if the fullest extreme they go to in this endeavor is to be mildly annoying sometimes, i guess i'm really not that upset by that.

    i mean, i'm a religious guy myself, and while i don't proselytize, i can get why a person who has found peace in their life and all that blah blah blah through a religion would want to share that thing with others

    doesn't mean i am cool with it or appreciate it, i'm still very firm in my refusal to listen to these folk

    but i am not going to spazz at them, either. they're not awful monsters trying to bomb my house or something

    they're just sorta irritating.

    tfs i pretty much can't take anything you say your are into as something you are legitimately into anymore

    you spent way too much time being "ironic" or trying to troll people

    Yeah i don't get the hate either, I'm not a very religious person but i grew up in a very religious house so I tend to understand the feelings behind it all.

    Dudes are trying to do you a favour, just cause you don't want it doesn't mean you have to get angry at them.

    do you get angry at people offering free samples at the store too?

    My dad has some neurological issues going on (they had diagnosed him with Alzheimer's, but then they took it back). I had thought one of the things he was doing was taking the phone off the hook and walking off every once in a while.
    Turns out when a telemarketer would call, my dad would say "Hang on, let me grab a pen." And he would set the phone down and go do something else.

    My dad might be going just a little crazy, but sometimes he is one crafty motherfucker.

    One time me and my roommate were leaving to go meet up with some friends when he had to go back inside because he forgot something. While I waited in the car I saw him get stopped by two Mormons. They talked for a few seconds and I saw my roommate motion towards me. I smiled and waved like some polite person.

    When he got in the car I asked him what they said. He went, "They asked me if I knew anyone that needed to be saved. I then told them 'Yeah that Jew in my car over there'."

    People don't like to be inconvenienced with things they aren't interested in.

    It's like a telemarketer. You don't want anything they're selling (and why do they always call during dinner), so it's annoying when your phone rings and you're all, 'ooh, a phone call!' and then you get up and walk aaaaaaall the way over there for the phone, and you excitedly answer, 'Hello!' and then you here a pause and a click and then some lady comes on trying to sell you a Slap Chop (tm).

    That's annoying.

    It's the same thing.

    No one minds being inconvenienced by Girl Scout Cookies, though. Maybe JW should bring those with them.

    funny enough, i find militant atheists way, way more annoying than preachy-but-nonthreatening religious people

    because like, okay, the preachy guy believes he's going to heaven, and he's pretty happy about that. he wants you to go to heaven, too, and wants you to be as happy about it as he is. his motivation is all about "i have this wonderful thing in my life that brings me peace and joy and i want you to have it too"

    militant atheists? i don't get their motivation. it inevitably comes across as bitterness. it's like "i realize the truth and i think you're blind and ignorant in your happy little fantasy land and be just as bitter and angry about life as i am"

    it's like

    where is the gain in that, for you

    you just bein' a grinch, man

    it's like it don't work for you, so it shouldn't work for nobody

    kid wasn't proselytizing

    can't remember how the conversation started, but my friend was the one wanting to talk about it

    questions ranged from "wait, you can't jack off?" to "when you get to heaven are you sad that some people you liked aren't in heaven?"

    eventually kid was just like, listen some of these questions are above my head, I can get you in touch with someone if you want
