I had a weird experience with a Christian.

I was doing some shopping and decided to rest my legs by sitting down on one of them sofas that they have lying around in the middle of the halls. Then, out of nowhere, some guy pops up, sits next to me and says "Do you know where Jesus is?" So I tell him I'm an atheist. He starts smiling and babbling on about Jesus wanting me as part of his kingdom. Then I began to challenge him on the claims of religion, religion in general and some philosophy. This guy had absolutely no answers whatsoever to any of my questions.

He kept on reciting some old rhetoric about Jesus loves you and so on. Then, he finally admits, that he isn't really all that philosophical as I am, but he knows for certain that Jesus exists and wants me part of his kingdom.

I also noticed that he had heavy bags under his eyes and his eyelids were half open, like a stoner's face.

Has this ever happened to any of you and why do some Christians do this?

    Well speaking as a christian, I am beyond tired of hearing about athiests who are ruining salvation for all the rest of us christian natives. I was raised to look over my shoulder when disrespecting the lord and I think that's how it should be here in my christian country. Were you born somewhere else by any chance?

    Heh.

    Babe, don't take it seriously. But honestly, grouping a religion into one experience, and posting it in an obviously biased way? Really, think about it.

    I've had run-ins/solicitations/unwelcome preachings from almost every religious group. That doesn't mean they speak for the whole group.

    I asked verbatum "why do some Christians do this?"

    That is not "grouping a religion into one experience" but discussing the nusciance of people disturbing your peace trying to push their agenda in the name of religion.

    I recall seeing a thread here with people complaining about Jews asking them if they were Jewish. Thankfully that does not happen to me but this does.

    See? You CAN do it. It's not that hard. If Whynot can, you can.

    Jeeze, a guy makes one non-homophobic comment...
