Why do you come to a forum discussing religion and tell people you don’t want to hear about religion?

DP. Because it's a specific answer regarding the OP's question. I'm Christian but I don't want to talk about it with co-workers, acquaintances or strangers but I have no prejudice against them.

I think a lot of people who feel newly strong in their faith tend to talk about it to others who may or may not want to hear about it and she may perceive that as prejudicial when it's not intended to be. I will cut off a religious conversation if someone starts one with me.

The culture is culturally Christian at the very least. Christmas is a federal holiday. Most people are NOT prejudiced against Christians. I find it preposterous when people say this. They are looking for conflict.

People who say this also tend to be people who believe there is only one way to be a Christian, whatever that sect is. Try ecumenical thinking, OP.

That’s great, but I was asking the pp who
posted that they don’t want anyone to talk about Jesus to them why they would come to a religious forum where people are talking about Jesus?

They are making a choice to do something they don’t want? Why would they do that?

You know there's a "recent posts" forum, right? No one has to click on the "Religion" forum to see posts on religion.

I’m pretty sure you’re OK if no one is putting you on trial for being a witch, or stoning you for being the “wrong” religion, or waging a war on your entire nation. I’m pretty sure you can handle it.

I’m a Christian, and I can’t believe you have zero reflection on the FACT that Christianity taking over nations and cultures led to genocide, colonization, murder and the subjugation of women. It’s time to step away from the pity party and reflect, OP.

I find it astounding that being Christian/Christianity are fair game for criticism & ridicule. I feel vastly more judged for my religion now than I did when I was doing things like sleeping around, doing hard drugs, being dishonest, getting a divorce, acting dishonorably etc. I find it insane!
