RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

So my (formerly agnostic, now atheist) friend (Christian) is very Christian and obsesses over it. Her only friends besides me are Christian and all they talk about is the Bible, Jesus, and God. She also tries to "convert" people. She tried to convert me by asking what my relationship with God as like, if I read the Bible, etc. and tried to get me to apologize to God for being agnostic and not Christian "for Christianity is the only true religion and He will come soon".

She constantly talks about it like I said and constantly tries to get me to convert every time we talk.

Push back in the same way.

Answer her questions about your lack of belief with your own questions. Ask her why she believes?

What makes her feel like her religion is correct?
What about Christianity is more right than other religions?
Does she think that she would still be Christian if she was born in India or China instead of here? If so, why?
Has she ever read, or considered reading, about Islam or Buddhism or any other religion that isn't based on Christianity?

I doubt you will hear from her much after that. If you do, she will likely ease up on the religious stuff.
