It takes a lifetime for us to get to knows ourselves as well as others, but it's always worth the effort in the end. When people annoy me I always try to remember they are struggling with their stuff just as much as I am with mine. *shrugs* It helps sometimes...

people annoy me too.
i have no use for virtually all of humanity.
there are a couple of special people that i love though.
the rest can incinerate when the comet strikes, and i will be entirely unphased.

God people annoy me too. Especially the Jehovas Witnesses, who only ever seem to knock while I'm having my morning crap.

Why cant we just enjoy life?
Why must we be irritated by things we won't remember a week from now or even the next day? What a waste of time and emotion.
Most people arent even trying to be annoying and arent doing it maliciously.
Everyone just needs to enjoy the fact that they were able to lift their eyelids and wake up another day.

I tell you, you know you're lonely when you can actually enjoy a conversation with the JWs. In my frequent discourses with them, I have learned the following things:
That they do not eat Black Pudding (blood sausage), even though they eat meat. Apparently, it's down to the difference between 'lifes' blood (!) and ordinary, everyday blood, which is fine to consume.
That all the doctors and medical personnel are either lying or unaware of the 'true' facts regarding blood transfusions, because there are, apparently, alternatives to transfusions that they don't tell you about ('Don't let them put it in you, Mavis - we'll use the other ways!')
That I would not be welcome in their organisation. A fact that strikes we with some relief, even though it is slightly humiliating to know that even the JWs won't take me.
BTW - why 'Witnesses'? Are they going to testify against God in court, or something?
(Apologies to any JWs here. It's just that I do find it all rather silly)

Witnessing in the Christian faith means telling your story of how God has affected your life. You can witness by not saying anything and letting your actions speak for themselves, or you can actually verbally bolster God's case.
Just thought I'd clarify that for you.

god people? who are god people? i'm just curious. does that include all people of any faith? i've never heard the term "god people".
i do know that in america, freedom of religion is a protected and cherished right that we are all granted. i cherish that right for myself and for all those around me, even people who don't agree with me, or believe what i believe.
if you are "annoyed" by people for having faith, maybe you need to relax a little bit. this is a big world and there is enough room for people to believe what they will. if you are "annoyed" by faith, maybe it's you not them that is the problem.
just a thought. i mean no offense by this. but you seem to every-so-often throw out an inflammatory bomb towards people of faith, and that sort of intolerance offends me.
anti-god people can be zealots too.

^^LMAO - a lighthearted joke and anecdote about 'god people'... and people get bugged.
Get a sense of humour guys. Really, if one's faith is that strong, then whatever little jests I make about religion should be meaningless to you.

yeah,
you've pegged me. i'm a thin-skinned religious person.
if your "unfaith" is so strong, why must you always *** at people of faith?
it's not your opinions that bother me, rather, it's your condescencion
road goes both ways.

you know people do this with politics too.
Republicans think Democrats are a bunch of naive tree huggers.
Democrats think Republicans are a bunch of fundies.
It creates divides among people that most people dont acknowledge.
Religion? Same thing.
Atheists think Christians are el stupidos for having faith in what seems to them to be a world in which there is obviously no God.
Christians believe Atheists are lost souls, antagonists of Satan. ect. They dont acknowledge that Atheists can have a sense of morality.
These are all generalities of course.

i just wonder if you would be so quick to "make a lighthearted joke and anecdote about god people" if those people were muslims instead of jehovah's witnesses.
jehovah's witnesses, traditionally considered to be a little quirky, quite passive, small in numbers, mostly a nuisance. < an easy target possibly?
anything about muslims annoy you?

for some people god is a very real and defined thing.
for others it is a loose concept or a general feeling of overall meaning in the universe.
to me, and i'm agnostic (so i'm hopeful, but uncertain, and ok with that), god is about justice. a meaning behind everything. a chance that things will one day make sense.
do you ever consider those people out there on this earth who have so eggegiously wronged, so abused, so terrorized, that their only solice is that somehow god will make it right. do you want those people wandering around convinced that the only way they will ever get justice in existence is to exact it themselves?
see, athiests, especially the annoying ones, always believe that if everybody didn't believe, we would all be literary, uppety, emo types slinging passive-aggressive insults about the flying spaghetti monster at one another on the internet and patting eachother's backs, smugly commenting on how "it doesn't matter anyways" and the like.
did you ever consider what type of world you would create if you set out to convince everyone that there is no god. no justice. no chance for balance in this universe.
did you ever consider what you may be unleashing in other people?
i can tell you this. i am not religious. but i choose to be spiritual. if i was to accept as gospel truth that there is absolutely nothing beyond this, no reason, no balance, no justice...do you have any idea what type of monster you would have on your hands?
how about a few billion of us running around?
is that a worthwhile goal?
and now a prediction brought to you by ... JSD

Keep the religious debates to a minimum, and keep the thread on topic. We each have our own thoughts and ideas. Opinions are like ass holes; Keep yours clean and to yourself. Thanks.
