Spiritual outlet

[Jimmy]

Does anyone here keep their true religious/spiritual beliefs to themselves because people would think they’re cuckoo? Personally, I don’t share my beliefs with people outside of this website. It feels good to talk about my beliefs, every now and again, here where nobody knows who I am.

 

[The Hammer]

I tell people who are interested. I don't blurt it out for all the world to see. I do have some outward mannerisms and behaviors though that others have used to peg my religious beliefs pretty quickly (which often surprises me lol).

 

[JustGeorge]

Same as @The Hammer , I don't broadcast, but if people ask, I tell.

Ditto for me. I once had a wonderful half-hour or so of an evening when some people showed up unannounced to try to convert us. I instead, while I continued to do yard work in front of them, told them all about MY religion, and wouldn't they be interested in converting?

They listened politely for awhile, said goodbye, then went about their own business...

They should’ve left you immediately. Haha

I was surprised that they lasted as long as they did...

Don’t you think what you did was kind of ignorant?

 

[The Hammer]

Why would it be?

No. They were intruding on our evening, but I simply took the initiative and treated them to the same kind of abuse they came to unleash on us.

 

[Jimmy]

Why would it be?

I’m sure you know

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

I’m sure you know

I'm sure you can tell us...

 

[The Hammer]

I’m sure you know

I wouldn't have asked if I did.

 

[The Hammer]

I do this with most door to door proselytizing. I tell them I'm not interested, but I'll ask to share my views with them if they are willing to listen.

Just say I’m not interested, thank you.

 

[The Hammer]

There is nothing wrong with sharing with an interested party. I'm not converting them or trying too. I'm discussing my pov.

As I've done on numerous other opportunities. But sometimes experience teaches better than being polite. If they feel they have a right to disrupt my evening, I claim the right to disrupt theirs.

Or you can do that.

Here is a good one for you to try. Tell em you’re gay and you worship the devil. That might tickle your fancy.

Why would I lie when I can tell them the truth?

I most certainly was not playing a joke on them...I was giving them some of their own medicine back.

I didn’t realize they were administering medicine when all they were told was to go door-to-door by their boss.
