I'm going to start off by saying I am Atheist, my views on this are going to be different then other's views.


Now, as the title says; this is about people who force religion.

Like I said, I am Atheist, there is nothing anybody can say to convince me to follow a certain religion. I just simply don't believe any of it.

There are people who know my beliefs, I also share the same beliefs as some of my good friends, but. There are people who continuously try to get me to go to church, to give Him a chance.

I have been to church before, I go with my girlfriend and her family. Although she is not having religious, I respect her beliefs and go along every now and again. She (and her family) also respect my beliefs.

The people that don't understand just try, try and try to convince others why to follow a certain religion.

I mean, trying to convince me that god is real is like trying to convince the Easter Bunny that Santa Claus is real, not possible.

***This is not a thread to start a flame war on. So, please don't***

Yea, its annoying.

Being Atheist always gets you shit from other religions.

I can't tell you how many people have tried to convince me God is real. The logic just makes no sense to me, they don't understand that I suppose

god *

I dont believe in a god either, but honestly it does not bother me all that much when someone is calmy talking to me about it. Im more annoyed by omnivores trying to convince me that being a vegan is some how bad ?? THATS annoying

Overall being preachy about anything is annoying to an extent.

I agree with your views on people forcing religion on people - and Qwel's view that forcing anything on anyone is annoying - but I think your view that nobody could convince you otherwise is, and I hate using this term, narrow minded.

I'm a staunch Atheist - and even if God did exist I wouldn't worship him unless he had an incredibly good excuse for all of the suffering in the world - but I would never say that nobody could convince me that he exists.
You should be open minded enough for it to be possible for you to be convinced about anything, whether it's probable or not is what matters.

Personally, I enjoy debates, so I don't mind when someone challenges my ideas on what I believe.
I think that debate is the best way to cut the fat off your own beliefs and author a more informed opinion on something.

Unfortunately, I have met few people who feel the same as me, and many will get offended when you try to debate them, even if they initiated it.

I personally don't believe in anything but myself, I have no religion.
Until there is solid proof of a "God" that watches over us, I will not believe in anything else. I don't care what anybody wants me to believe in.

I am Atheist, there is no such thing as God and there never will be. God was invented by a man to control men, and that's all it will ever be.

people who force anything is just annoying tbh but religious people always have to make it into an argument. well thats what its like on social media anyways and my gf is pretty religious and i tend to keep away from that topic as its pretty high tension but i respect her beliefs and she respects mine and i think thats just what everyone needs to do. just except the fact that different people are going to have to different beliefs and everyone just has to respect that idk why everyone has to go crazy about it lmao

I have had many people try to convince me that some random guy in a cloud with a badass name created everything. The best proof a god is Morgan Freeman. I hate it when people criticize me for not believing in anything. The world was created by evolution IMO.

The only thing that 6 years of Catholic school taught me is that I absolutely hate contemporary Christians.
How are you gonna preach about fairness and decent treatment, then be prejudice to certain groups of people.

Religion is flawed imo, I feel like it was just something used to explain the unknown when technology was incapable. I see no need for it in this day and age.

You didn't fix anything for me though, cause I was referring to the situation OP and I are in.

A for effort though.
