[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh gosh, these are Hare Krishnas. I'm sorry you had to deal with that shit.

Speaking as a Hindu, no we do [i]not[/i] proselytize. Hare Krishnas are a particularly odd child of the Hindu religious complex. They are an off-shoot that has an evangelical, "Krishna is our Jesus" attitude that even annoys other Hindus.

I am Hindu and I love Krishna, but I don't love [i]only[/i] Krishna. I have 8 deity statues on my shrine and they all get equal love and attention. As far as I'm aware, Krishna has never objected to my all-tolerant polytheism, nor have I ever felt the urge to share my faith with other people.

Once again, on behalf of Hindus I'm really sorry you had to deal with Hare Krishna evangelizing. Please know that the rest of us think they are weird and we do not encourage proselytizing behavior whatsoever.[/quote]

Geez, what a gushing apology.  People need to stop being so fragile.  They wanted to tell you about their religion, you didn't want to hear it so you left, problem solved.  I don't understand why people act like proselytizing is so inherently awful.  I'm not particularly religious and don't do it myself but I'm not offended when others do it because I'm an adult and can no, thank you, have a nice day.[/quote]
