Am I weird for liking these people? Honestly, I would love it if we had more than just the sporatic door-knocker out here. They fascinate me and I really do enjoy talking to them. There was this one guy that I actually got into a good discussion with once; he was a really cool person.

All I ever hear is people b****ing about them, but what's so wrong with them? I've yet to meet one that is a crazy religious zealot; they're just passing one their word, not holding your door open forcing you to agree with it. It doesn't make them bad people forcing religion on you for knocking on your door. You can just say that you're not interested if you choose to. How is that harmful or an infraction on your right to believe as you choose?

Any religion. I've only had various denominations of Christians, but that's probably just because that's the only major religion established in my area.

I don't mind them... as long as they don't knock on my door! lol. They believe that they are supposed to "Go forth and preach the gospel to every creature." So I give 'em props for that. One time I answered to a couple when I was having a raging party. I was drunk and invited them in. They politely declined.
It's the bible quoting automatons that kinda get under my skin. No matter what you have to say to them, they quote scripture, even if it doesn't pertain to the conversation.

Romans 1:24-32
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator?who is forever praised. Amen.

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.


God bless you.

Yeah exactly like that.

Do you know how to test whether or not somebody is Truly arrogant?

You do something obvious, and then if that person points out what you did it shows that they Truly believe that the person who did it is not as intelligent as them and thereby reveals their superiority complex.

Many 'nice' people are really just arrogant intellectuals, with a superiority complex.


May the Lord have mercy.

But aquine You do that all the time!

I've lost count how many of your posts have contained nothing but scripture which is completely irrelevant to the discussion.

Hosea 7:6
6 Their hearts are like an oven;
they approach him with intrigue.
Their passion smolders all night;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
