Can someone kidnap some of the Christians round here? Not that I mind religious people - I really don't, each to their own - but pushing their views is really annoying me. I have a close friend who's very vulnerable, he was abused badly when he was younger, and a few pushy Christians are dragging him in, saying that they can fix all his problems. Now, fair enough, religion helps some people, but all they are doing is telling him that they can solve everything. Basically, setting him up for a fall - what if a belief in God doesn't instantly make all the s*** he's been through go away? Then he's just gonna feel awful. He needs more than a bible and overzealous religious people nagging on at him all day.
Plus it's gonna really affect our friendship, I think - I have no problem with Christians per se, but I find that some of them do like to push their views. I'm atheist, I do not believe in God, and it's my right not to - hence, I get really annoyed when people tell me that I'm a bad person because I don't believe in God. I'm not, I just have different views.
Like I said, i really don't mind what people believe. But it makes me really angry when people force others into their beliefs, and manipulate vulnerable people into believing that all of the problems can be solved by going to Church on Sunday.
[Anyone reading this who is religious, please don't be offended, by the way, I know not everyone is like this!]
