Nice chat with an older Jehovah's Witness couple at my door yesterday. Tried their hardest, even though I told them my history with religion and my current viewpoints. One thing they tried to convince me WITH: "interpretation of the scriptures isn't necessary, they interpret themselves". They left when my reaction to "his scripture gives us comfort" was that scriptures commanding genocide and forced circumcision of god's enemies made me discomforted.
@kevin so much nicer than I'd be. 😂 Religious people come to my door get ignored. I don't even open the door. Or if they somehow get me to open the door (if I'm expecting a package and make a mistake) - I'm not rude but I say not interested and close the door 😂😂 have quite a bit of religious trauma from growing up I suppose.
@jake4480 I usually do. Not sure what made me decide to chat. I kind of wanted to see if I could do it without being mean. There's no way they could convert me, so it was a waste of their time. I was also high AF, so....
@kevin 😂 that always helps, yeah. Come to think of it, I did frankly talk to these two women that walked up to my wife and I as I was parking in my driveway. They were like, do you believe in God, I'm like nah. Not really. And they go, WHY. And I'm like, why waste my time on that, or something. Or like, ask them why they DID believe in it. Or try to explain my agnosticism. None of which generally is a great use of my scant time here on Earth, yknow? But it's wild that people do that stuff. 😂😂
@kevin religion and sports are things I choose not to deal with, but then like, they come up in everyday life, and I'm like oh SHIT right, a lot of people are into in that shit! Luckily it's rarely in my circles 😂
