On campus today there was a group of people handing out copies of the New Testament to students. They're generally nice, but to me they have been repeatedly intolerant and downright rude. They invade personal space and just keep on pressing their views until I walk away or cave and take a Bible. Two years ago, one of them even threw a Bible at my head from across the room. They keep getting invited back to campus every year to try and convert the student body, and I seem to be the only one who has had a bad experience with them.
Whenever I try to express my annoyance with these specific people and their actions towards me, I generally get a response like "stop being hateful towards Christians." I want everyone to understand that in NO WAY am I hateful towards Christians (hi Malflick ) I just really don't like it when people try to force their beliefs on me. I would dislike it just as much if they were any other religion, it's just that where I live, when I encounter this, 99.9% of the time they happen to be Christian, and when I rant about them I come across as hateful.
What are your experiences with conversion tactics, and what do you think of people who do this?
