I wish Christians would care less, especially the ones who wake me up banging on the door first thing on a Saturday morning and wont take a simple no thankyou for an answer.
Let me ask you this: What could Christians do that would be most likely to convince you to become a Christian? Obviously, banging on your door doesn't work (and I don't appreciate that much either), so what would you appreciate? And just being left alone isn't an answer... if you saw Christians doing community service, would that convince you? If they stopped discriminating against gays, would that convince you? Or something else?

Just curious. ;)

Nothing would so trying to convert me is going to do nothing apart from being fucking annoying, I was brought up brainwashed by some religious cult but had the intelligence to see through their manipulations and crap and have no intention of every going back to being a judgemental lsmall minded person on the basis of something which has no proof.

Ok, good to know. What cult were you brought up in?

JWs. I realise they are more extreme than a lot of religions but I see all religions pretty much trying to do the same kind of brain washing to one extent or another.

Funny, a part from hell, you havent disagreed with their beliefs once. I honestly was starting to suspect you of being one.
Ah, no. I'm just a more conservative or traditional Christian than most of the "Christians" you'll meet. ;)

And their beliefs are close to Christianity, but they're definitely very different when you get down to the important details. And the way they like to do ministry (like knocking on doors).

I agree that the bus thing is ridiculous - no idea why anyone is up in arms about that. Everyone has a right to write whatever they want on a bus, lol.

And the reason why Christians preach to you and others is because they CARE. They don't want to see anyone go to hell, so they want to be sure everyone has every chance in the world to believe. So, I'll apologize for caring. ;)

Are you HONESTLY telling me that christians don't wanna see anyone go to hell? Even after they condemn SO many people to hell for the littlest things? They aren't perfect either.

I'm sure there are Christians who do wish to see some people in hell, but that is sinful. I can't say that I've never felt that way either, but currently, there is no one I would wish that on.

And any Christian claiming to be perfect is a hypocrite. Everyone is condemned to hell, regardless of what good or bad things they've done, because we're all sinful. All it takes is one sin to go to hell, and we've all committed at least one of those, lol. The difference is that those who accept Christ don't go to hell, because they've been forgiven.

doesn't it bother you, as a Christian, that your sky father condemned all of us to hell simply because adam and eve sinned (as the myth goes)? Thats like imprisoning a child of a rapist because his father was a rapist. Good logic there, sky daddy.

Obviously you do not know your bible.

Adam and Eve committed the first sin, before then the universe was perfect, BECAUSE Adam and Eve committed aforementioned sin, "God" condemned us all to hell unless we took christ as our saviour blah blah blah.

So AEF was completely right, he condemned us all for something Adam and Eve does, and it's more like convicting a child as a rapist because his great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great Grandfather was a rapist.

Um, no. We are convicted of sin because we are sinful. If there was someone who was perfect, they wouldn't be condemned. But so far, no one besides Jesus has been perfect. So we are all sinful by our own doing, not because of Adam and Eve. We all still have a choice, and we have all chosen to be sinful at one point or another in our lives.

Doesn't matter, we are sinful only because of Adam and Eve's sins.

Like I said, everything was perfect until Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, then sin came into the world.

Sin was brought into the world by Adam and Eve, and we are condemned to hell for sinning, therefore, we are condemned to hell for something Adam and Eve did.
