Dude, if you cannot respect the right of someone else to follow a different philosophy, if your religion makes you look down upon all other religions, if it makes you believe that everyone else is doomed, then it hardly makes me respect you or your religion, does it?<BR/><BR/>I remember a time when I was sitting with a friend and we were approached by one of these evangelists. He talked about Christianity and how everyone who did not believe in Jesus would end up in Hell. <BR/><BR/>"But that's where I want to end up", my friend said.<BR/>The guy was dumbfounded. "Why?"<BR/>"Because that's where all the cool people are. Heaven is probably full of people like you".<BR/><BR/>"Let's see where you end up", he said before walking away angrily.<BR/><BR/>As you mentioned, it's hard to be disrespectful to a missionary-type because we are taught not to disrespect any religion, so you end up thinking of vile things to say in your head while you smile at them and say "No, thanks.. I am not religious".Anilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172734883170674261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-1146791963388920962006-05-05T09:19:00.000+08:002006-05-05T09:19:00.000+08:00Heya,This is something that irritates me as well -...Heya,<BR/>This is something that irritates me as well - and I'm a christian :) When I first came to Singapore, I was approached by a handful of ppl, trying to get me to convert (They never dreamt an Indian cud be a Christian!). I don't know why they do this. I don't even like to go to the Churches here - cuz they tell you outright to go out there and convert ppl. Its really wierd/sick/irritating - Again, I'm a christian. So I can imagine how much worse you guys must feel. The problem here is that these guys are first generation christians. They are of the opinion that if they don't aggresively push the religion, people will convert back. We on the other hand, being christians for generations are more secure I think.<BR/>Honestly, I like the way we practice religion in India - where religion is important to every individual, yet we practice it without trying to impose our views on our neighbours. I'm constantly explaining this to my non-christian friends who are approached by these guys. <BR/>Wow...this seems long =S I love the way you replied back to that guy. Cheerio. <BR/>Liz :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-1146784698311309222006-05-05T07:18:00.000+08:002006-05-05T07:18:00.000+08:00Hmm.

I never pass up an opportunity to crush another person's entire belief system for my own amusement -- I'm kind of mean that way.<BR/><BR/>Fine, I made up that bit about crushing peoples' beliefs. But you've got to admit that the whole evangelism thing is pretty amusing. Kind of like watching a toddler/drunk person acting silly -- walking in circles, drooling, falling down and so on.Nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737952788723847550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-1146780989354360112006-05-05T06:16:00.000+08:002006-05-05T06:16:00.000+08:00You go Girl!!!I live in the Baptist dreamland (KY,...You go Girl!!!<BR/>I live in the Baptist dreamland (KY, USA) and get a lot of these hicks at my door.

Ha.Ha. No other name suits this guy.<BR/><BR/>U could have sent the guy to Ramdeo-ji. He would teach this guy how to stay happily and without any troubles in life through meditation. This guy needs to grow up seriously.<BR/><BR/><I>I placed myself on your footsteps and thought :<BR/>I am a Hindu, I love all religions in the world, Ive gone to Church several times, I like all Christians, I love Jesus more than any other God in this whole world<BR/>but does that mean I would convert myself to Christianity? No. Never. Why? Because its my personal decision. Bas!</I><BR/><BR/>I give you 10 on 10 for the way you behaved with this guy. I think you were much tolerant to let the stranger enter your room. Only Indian Hindus can be so much tolerant. Im sure about it. Any other girl from any other religion would never have let the stranger enter her personal space or allowed a stranger to say anything.<BR/><BR/>I myself would have chased the guy out of my hostel by the help of 10 other people if he had tried to waste my Sunday. Belive me. I hate these "DC to AC" convertors a lot. <BR/><BR/>-----------------------------------<BR/><BR/>I really liked the meaning of your cute name. "princess of hearts/attained with great desire'. Wow! Too Good. You are a princess of hearts indeed. It can be seen by the amount of fans following you. Great going Sayesha! Keep it up!<BR/><BR/>You are invited to Kolkata too. Do visit the city someday. Its not that bad as people think it to be. Do not forget to visit the St. Pauls' Cathedral. Im sure you will love it.HOTWINTERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04710797509127260559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-1146753894485503132006-05-04T22:44:00.000+08:002006-05-04T22:44:00.000+08:00#Aarti,Wow, now I have too many reasons to go to M...#Aarti,<BR/>Wow, now I have too many reasons to go to Mumbai!
