Welcome to Gaia! ::

Christians are starting to realize that we are starting to get on the case to were we can disprove them.
This is pissing them off and a movement is starting to happen which has pissed ME off for the reason that I can be harassed in public, now anywhere.


Awhile ago, I went to the mall with my friends on Friday like we usually do for fun.
When about to get a mocha, a lady comes up to me with her friend.
She spoke while her friend stood in the background, a smile on her face showing she needed to make a poop-baby the size of Hulk Hogan.
First, she said she was from Mississippi or Minnesota or whatever the hell she was from.
After acting friendly like we were going to be such good friends, she asks a peculiar question.

" What do you think is the true way to get into heaven? "
For a second, I was baffled considering I knew this would happen but didn't think it was possible and tossed it aside.
Some of my Atheistic friends answered it with the common idea of morality.
Then, I knew she was a preacher after her friend whipped out these pamphlets from her a**l cavity and told us to take one, saying " God only gives a ticket to those who expect one. "
This implied they were telling me and my friends that God only wanted those who believed in this twisted old b*****d.

Now, being the monster that I was who didn't like stuff like this and REALLY wanted my mocha, I pointed to an officer with the following line:

" Please know that all districts in Columbus require a permit to be spreading religious belief due to the differences in religious believes that can be found throughout Georgia. If you don't have one, I might suggest you leave before he asks you for a permit. "

Of course this made it more powerful considering it made it look like the police office was coming over here to talk to them.

After they leave, he tells us to move along.

( Columbus Mall Officers, apparently, hate people standing around. You either move around or they will kick your a**. ._. )

After owning the two, I went and got my damn mocha, and you know what I did?
I saw the two again and went up to them before I left.
I didn't say anything.
I acted like they weren't there, blew my nose in the pamphlet because of my allergies, balled it up, and discarded it in a trash can that happened to be near them.

I would have been nice if it weren't for the fact that they were trying to preach around a mall. Do it some other damn place, please.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other time happened, again, at the mall.
We were going to watch a movie since I wanted to see
" Pinapple Express".
As we reached near the media building, I saw a group of people huddled together. I tried to just walk in until one of them grabbed me and asked if I wanted to join.
Before I could ask, I saw a black man standing on a podium.
If I can remember, he looked like a douche version of Dave Chapelle.
He was a preacher who was passing out pamphlets.
Almost about to slit my throat worrying that the Christian spreaders were cloning into a mass production race, I pulled free from this grinning idiot.

" Sorry, I got some fun stuff to do. "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, the following stories MAY look like I am being a jackass.
Hell, I WAS being one.
But that doesn't mean I had the right.
People shouldn't have the right to go out with pamphlets into random districts, a giddy little smile on their face, thinking EVERYONE was Christian there and they needed " the right way " to know how to get into heaven. I'm sorry but I deal with that s**t every day in school with the preaching. I don't need that everywhere I go.
Especially since not everyone is Christian.

Here is another thing that occurred to me,
What if those SAME two came upon two different people.
One was Hindu, the other was Atheist.
Let's say that they both figured that out.
Do you think they would have treated both of them the same as the others?
Hell no.
Usually, when they see someone with a different religion, they think
" Well it's important to respect others and their beliefs! Sorry I wasted your time! "

When they would see the Atheist, they would probably have said
" You Godless heathen! You better believe or you'll go to hhheeeellllllll!!!!! "

I may have exaggerated abit but that is how it will go.
The Atheist kind, for some reason, is treated different by Christians then Christians would treat other religions mostly because we have a large difference between the common and popular religion they know about in their area.
But why aren't Hindus or Muslims or Buddhists going out of their way to publicize their views with parades and pamphlets that you will know out from 9/10 chance?
Because most of them have enough dignity to realize that their religion isn't superior nor is it the only one.
Most Christian have it in their head that God, 100% chance, exists with no doubt and they were sent down to preach the word of him!

God got pissed the last time something like that happened before with Jesus. Why would he even care how popular he was anyway?
Infact, he sounds like a giant douche of a coach potato.
He can't get up from his fluffy cloud throne and just show himself to everyone for one day just to prove he existed???
He has to send others to TALK about him?
Complete bullshit if you ask me.

But that isn't the point here.

The point, truely, is that I have been noticing the rate of Christian public preaching has sky-rocketed lately and want to point out that it is morally wrong.
I could give thousands of reasons but that would be too long to post and you all don't want to read such a long post.














Have you ever had an experience like this and tell.

That has happened to me before in this large outdoor mall while I was with my brother. The dude was saying how he used to want to commit suicide but then found God and was all better and gave me this pamphlet and was telling me how I could go to heaven. I was trying to be polite and simply said "I'm not very religious.. thanks for caring, but I gotta go" and just left him there. That's about it. I do find it somewhat annoying.. I don't think it's the fact that they go around preaching everywhere, I think it's the idea that if an atheist goes around preaching, it is considered downright offensive and rude. When a Christian (or basically any other religious person) does it, it is normal and taboo to criticize them. I live in a pretty religious area and there's a church right across the street from me that's richer than my school! No joke (my school is pretty broke so it's not too impressive). The church has a nice gymnasium and very nice equipment and they even have money to spare that they advertise the church on the radio! I've heard it before on the radio. It's crazy. I sometimes go to the church gymnasium on sundays to play on their basketball court with my friends. It's after hours so there's no preaching or anything which is pleasant.

They better not be making another of those "The Great Awakening!"

I wish us nonreligious people can "ENLIGHTEN" people but that be hypocritical of us. At my school, they have like posters about God and Christianity throughout. There's this girl I know with a sticker that says "One way!" (with a cross and a hand pointing up)

UGH!

then again maybe we should fight fire with fire
=]

If your school says you either have freedom of speech or academic freedom, that propaganda is absolutely illegal. In fact, anyone who thinks their rights are being violated by their school should go to www.thefire.com. They have a team of lawyers that they dispense for free to students whose rights are being violated.

Actually, the address is www.thefire.org

yeah my school is public

Heh, that reminds me of a story my mother told me a while ago. When Jehova's Witnesses knocked her door (it was the time of her 30, so it happened in times of communism) she opened and she let them talk freely. When they were finished she said "It was very nice to meet you. For the glory of the party!" and she shut the door (but their expressions were unforgettable). (my mother was't really from a very catholic family cool )
